What a curious volume! This book is an album of complete Beatles’ discography from 1960s. Album covers from all over the world, every single one ever created during a decade. This is the first volume in a series, with more on the way. It is an absolute must-have for devoted Beatles fans and collectors, especially for those, who possess an admiration for mostly unappreciated art of album covers. With this anthology, it is quite fascinating to see the difference between the designs of the same record in various parts of the world, with British and American releases often having quite different designs, not even mentioning those released in Germany or somewhere else in the world. The uniqueness and meaning of each cover is fascinating! Each one tells a story, has its own face value, and was inspired by something special.

The second section of the book contains the chronological song index with specific information about each song. And the third section is full of additional information like author’s personal thoughts. The author is an absolute Beatles fan and collector with a desire for every meticulous scrap of detail to be noted. I am certain this book includes it all, when it comes to Beatles albums in 1960s. There is no place for anything to be left out.

The quality of "The Beatles Discography"  and images inside is wonderful. It is a nice memorabilia item for devoted fans and collectors, and especially those, who are peculiar about nitty-gritty specifics.
