The Beatles As Musicians
I've just purchased The Beatles As Musicians: Revolver Through The Anthology and I wanted to pass word to any other Beatles fanatic home recording people out there who may be interested in it because I think this book looks fascinating. Of course I haven't read it yet to give any kind of real review of it. I'll try to get to that once it's delivered.
I've read a lot of Beatles books over the years but most of them have been focused more on the biography of the band than on the creation of the music itself. That's what this book is about and that's why I can't wait to get my hands on it.
There's also a second book by the same author (which was actually written after this one) which focuses on The Beatles earlier stuff (through Rubber Soul) but since I'm more interested in their later stuff I figured I would just get this one first to see what it's like before buying the second one.

An update: I have bought the other Beatles As Musicians book as well. These are very interesting. You should be warned though: These are books for people with an intense interest in The Beatles music and music theory. If that’s not you, then these books will likely be overwhelming to you (although there is some interesting less technical information as well.)

I haven’t heard of this one before, it sounds pretty interesting.
