Tune In

Tune In (2013) by Mark Lewisohn. This is the first volume in a planned trilogy about the lives and careers of the Beatles. The title of the trilogy is The Beatles: All These Years. This volume starts with their early years, from their birth in the 1940s and their awakening in the 1950s, through 1962, when they were just on the cusp of international stardom. One might argue that, at 800 pages, this book contains more about the Beatles' early years than anyone needs or cares to know, but having read it I find that I am glad I did and I am looking forward to Volume 2. I hope I get to read it, but I don't know when it's coming out. For Beatles lovers, this book can't be beat. Grade: A-
