Visualizing The Beatles: A Complete Graphic History of the World’s Favorite Band by John Pring and Rob Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Visualizing the Beatles is a very interesting and very enjoyable look at the the career of the Beatles. While I would say it’s not a complete graphic history of the group, certainly it covers all of the important stuff. I really enjoyed the graphic representation of the data about each album, including which keys the songs were in, who played what instruments, who wrote (or co-wrote) each song, etc.
The book is organized around the Beatles albums, so a few things fall through cracks, but it’s a pretty good way to present the story. And it shows how the group’s clothing and hairstyles changed through the years. I thought this books was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it to all fans of the Beatles.
