The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America written by Jonathan Gould
Review by Steve Alspach
In the course of Jonathan Gould’s book he speaks about how few true biographies have been written about the Beatles – as a band. Gould lists four – other than his own.

The Beatles - Get Back: The Beatles' Let It Be Disaster written by Doug Sulpy and Ray Schweighardt
Review by Steve Alspach
If there was ever a band that was in need of a vacation, it was the Beatles in January 1969. They were in a 16-month slump starting with Brian Epstein's death in August 1967, the less-than-flattering critical response to the Magical Mystery Tour movie, and the PR fiasco of their jaunt to India with the Maharishi.
