The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz

Anticipated Beatles Bio Comes Out Tuesday - Yahoo! News:

NEW YORK - Ten hours, 28 minutes. That was the sum of the music recorded and released by the Beatles before breaking up, a volume of work that changed lives, careers and the course of music history. Eight years, 2,792 pages. That was the effort author Bob Spitz put into telling their story, although editors whittled his manuscript down to 856 pages (minus the end notes).

How much overlap is there between the class of Beatles lovers and the class of doorstop biography lovers? I’m skeptical about the financial prospects of this title…
