Offline Examiner article on a whole bunch of books coming out with unseen photos. Besides the above-mentioned Taschen book, there’s the crowdsourced Eight Arms to Hold You which Joe posted about. Also:
John Taylor has a new book on his meeting up with Paul McCartney in New Orleans back in the ’70s coming out this month. It’s called “Wings over New Orleans: Unseen Photos of Paul and Linda Mccartney, 1975.” Taylor had contributed some of his photos to the previous book “The Beatles and Me.” And coming from Spencer Leigh in April in “Best of the Beatles: The Sacking of Pete Best,” which Leigh told us is an update of his previous book on Pete, “Drummed Out.” Amazon.co.uk is also listing a new biography of Paul McCartney by Philip Norman to come in 2016.

Offline Examiner focus on two upcoming books which feature original press clippings from the relevant times; ‘The Beatles in the News 1962 – 1963’ and ‘Paul McCartney in the News 1969 – 1973′.
Taken from the article
“The Beatles In the News 1962 – 1963” features many long forgotten (and for Americans probably never seen) clips of the day along with original ads….A companion volume, “Paul McCartney In the News: 1969 – 1973,” at roughly 86 pages, covers the end of the Beatles and the early years of his solo career.

Italian photographer Emilio Lari has just published a book collecting together photographs taken during the UK filming of Help ! Called The Beatles – Photographs from the Set of Help !, it includes many rare and previously unseen shots. A look inside the book can be found here.
There are some great shots, including John in a long black wig looking a little Yoko, and Paul and George in the back of a limo – with Paul cracking up, and George looking sly.
(Also, any chance a mod could pin this thread so that it’s easier to find? Just thinking it would be good to have it at the top as not every book deserves a new thread, and this is the great catch-all thread for new books.)

This is sort of a Beatle book.
Beatlebone: A Novel by Kevin Barry
It is 1978, and John Lennon has escaped New York City to try to find the island off the west coast of Ireland he bought nine years prior. Leaving behind domesticity, his approaching forties, his inability to create, and his memories of his parents, he sets off to find calm in the comfortable silence of isolation. But when he puts himself in the hands of a shape-shifting driver full of Irish charm and dark whimsy, what ensues can only be termed a Magical Mystery Tour .

A mate of mine is reading that, says it’s weird but quite good.
I might pick it up.

Sounds like one of @Starr Shine? ‘s Beatles Bible Stories.

Ta for that, @Ahhh Girl. Just thought it was a good idea to stop this slipping down the list. Amount of pages I had to got to find it again!
The premise of that book sounds interesting. Even a fiction I like to have the facts it’s basing itself on right
Nine years earlier, that would have John buying Dorinish in 1969. Except he didn’t, he bought it in 1967, eleven years earlier. Doesn’t look good for the factual framework on which the fiction has to hang.

Last September Barry Miles published a book called The Zapple Diaries: The Rise and Fall of the Last Beatles Label. Miles was head of Zapple, and it looks to be an interesting new view of the chaos at Apple, what the Zapple label may have become, and the events leading up the eventual break-up. Given that Miles was such an insider at the time, especially close to Paul, it has the potential to throw new light on what happened, and how they treated friends as the rot set in.
A review in this month’s Uncut gives it 8 out of 10.

I’ve got it. All his books are good, but there’s quite a lot of overlap in the ones I’ve read so far (Many Years From Now, In The Sixties, Zapple Diaries). I was sent a review copy and really need to write up my notes. In short: it’s not a diary; it’s somewhere between biography of Apple and Miles’ personal memories of the time.
