About the Author:

Geoffrey Giuliano, author of Dark Horse: The Life and Art of George Harrison and Lennon in America, lives in Thailand. Dr. Timothy Leary (1920-1996) was a 60s counterculture icon.

From Booklist:

Although the original Beatles drummer is represented in it--a pre-Beatles band mate of John, Paul, and George, too--this isn't a collection of interviews with Pete Best and other lost Beatles. Instead, it's a motley of barrel-bottom scrapings: transcripts of Fab Four press conferences, news clippings, latter-day interviews with individual Beatles, and conversations with the group's inner circle (Yoko Ono, producer George Martin, etc.) and families (e.g., John's sister and his aunt Mimi, who raised him) as well as figures on Beatledom's periphery (Donovan, Ravi Shankar, etc.). Giuliano, who's written four previous Beatles books, couldn't resist going to the well one more time, perhaps to cash in on an upcoming, 10-part TV documentary on the group. Remarkably, he has drawn up plenty of nuggets for the Beatlemaniacs, ranging from backstage trivia to gossip and ax-grindings relayed by the likes of Lennon "concubine" May Pang and a former groupie married to one of McCartney's Wings band mates. Expect demand for this hodgepodge to correspond roughly to that for Giuliano's Beatle bios. Gordon Flagg
