Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book that should be highly recommended!
Review: A book contains a lot of information about the Beatles. But if the price can be set lower, I believe that many Beatlemania would come and buy!!! And remember e-mail me if you bought this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beatlemania Strikes Again!
Review: A great collection of all of the Beatles songs from A-I. A definite must for Beatles fans who would like to learn to play their songs. This book rocks--And so can you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book helped my guitar playing immensly...
Review: Before I read this book I only could play heavy metal power chords... but now I know half the beatles songs (which for me is rather exciting)... It was an extremly helpful book....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I Think It Must Be Great, BUT ......!
Review: I visited the auction site in WED\19\5\1999. Unfortunately, I didn't buy anything because of the outrageous prices. I believe and garanty that if the prices were lower, this site would be one of the most visited sites on the web. Personnaly I will check constantly to see the prices have been arranged properly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All the music, but you need a magnifying glass to read it!
Review: This is the definitive book of Beatles songs, but unfortunately the size of the lyrics, notes, etc. is just too small. I ended up copying at 150% any songs that I really want to play on the piano. But this is THE book. Get it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Become a Beatlemaniac
Review: Virtually every Beatles song ever recorded appears in this two-volume set. It includes even some of the Beatles cover songs such as "Kansas City" and "A Taste of Honey".

What you get are the standard sheet music versions of these songs, nicely printed and easy to read. The book is at an intermediate level. Typical Hal Leonard scores: a base line in the spirit of the recording, chords voiced in the center and melody on top. Not always very pianistic, but the songs are transcribed pretty well harmonically. Also tab is included and of course lyrics. Some of the songs include the Beatles solo, fills or intros. For instance the instrumetal part of Polythene Pam, Savoy Truffle or Yer Blues. All the songs I've played so far except "Penny Lane" are in the key they were recorded in. It seems "Penny Lane" is in B, the music is in C.

If you want to know every note the Beatles played, get the "The Beatles Complete Scores" also sold by Amazon.com. However, to me its hard to read and not really playable. So if you just want to just get in and play, this is preferable.

It's quite a luxury to have not just thier hits but all their music together. After playing something like "Let it Be" you can just turn a few pages and delve into something you'd never expect to play like "Piggies", "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" or virtually play through all of "Abbey Road". While the Beatles aren't Gods to me, it really hits you how talented these guys were when you've got it all in front of you like this.
