A John Lennon Special

A John Lennon Special

        Today is John Lennon's birthday, and I thought I'd do something special this year. If you're old enough to remember, during the 1960s The Beatles had their own fan club, and a magazine that was published from 1963-1969; named The Beatles Monthly Book. In his wonderful memoir, 'John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me: The Real Beatles Story' https://www.amazon.com/John-Paul-George-Ringo-Me/dp/1459634918 , Beatles' Press Officer Tony Barrow explained in detail (pages 41-43), how Publisher/Editor Sean O' Mahony set up and negotiated a deal with Brian Epstein and himself, for The Beatles Monthly Book to become the only authorized Beatles Fan Magazine. (During the 1960s, The Beatles Monthly Book was a regular supplement in the back of Redbook Magazine.)
        A few years ago, I did a posting mentioning a site where you could view the magazine covers, and some of the photographs. https://observer1984.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-beatles-monthly-book-archive.html
        Today, to complete everything and to come full circle, I am posting the complete collection; the '60s originals and the '90s reprints, on PDF Files. All 77 issues, in colour and black and white. Quite historical, and you can print out each issue. Double Click to open each file.


Enjoy!


And A Very Happy Birthday To You John Lennon!
