Amazon.com reviews:

"It is very interesting to read what the press said about the Beatles in the middle of Beatlemania. The book is well organized, it is easy to read and the information and notes are very interesting and tell the story in a complete different way than the others. I really recommend it for people of all countries, as the language is very easy to understand."

"There are so many Beatle books out there! I choose the best ones to buy and this is one of them, mainly because of the rare pictures. I have had this book for a while now and never get tired of it. Reading the original commentaries is interesting, as well."

"This is a book you browse through looking at the numerous pictures, big and small, but you'll soon discover they've all been well-documented, providing date and place of the events. In many instances the pictures look familiar, like the ones taken on the Champs Elysées, but they're not. The photographs printed here are from a different perspective and a few moments earlier or later and thus give a fresh impression of well-known Beatles-history. A few pages further on, The Beatles Files shows us lesser known events, such as the mailmen delivering two vanloads of birthday fanmail to George Harrison's parents, who are looking slightly embarrased. The book presents the Beatles' story from the Daily Mirror's perspective, including the newspaper's headers and comments. The story starts in 1963 and takes us to 1969."
