JPGR&B SUBS 1st Feb 2024		Book Various Authors - A Is For Apple: An Illustrated History Of The Beatles' Multimedia Corporation Vol. 4: The End Of The Beatles (September 1969 To April 1970) (2022)	From an e-mail from Apcor on 28 January 2024: A Is For Apple Volume 4 ended with the Beatles' break-up and our customers wondered when Volume 5 will be issued. We would like to inform you that the series has been put on hold for now. This is not to say there will not be a follow-up, but nothing's planned for the immediate future. We, the writers, think that Volume 4 was a good cut-off point to end this series and even though we may tell more of the Apple story in future, it might not be in the form of another volume in this series.
JPGR&B SUBS 28th Jan 2024		Book Michael McGowan - Speaking Words Of Wisdom: The Beatles And Religion (2024)	Synopsis provided by the author to JPGR&B on 11 January 2022. In Speaking Words of Wisdom: The Beatles and Religion, leading and emerging scholars from a number of fields (religion, music history, philosophy, sociology, etc.) explore the subject of religion in the Beatles' lives, music, reception, and legacy. There are chapters on religious life in Liverpool at the time the Beatles were growing up, how each individual Beatle understood matters of ultimate concern, the ways in which Beatlemania was a religious phenomenon, and how the Beatles’ authority has been religiously imagined in positive and negative ways since their breakup.

JPGR&B SUBS 20th Jan 2024		Book Bruce Spizer - The Beatles A Hard Day's Night & More (2024)	Bruce has completed writing and editing all but three of the major chapters in the book and will soon begin the selection and editing process for the Fan Recollections. We are interested in fan recollections regarding the film and the records covered in the book. If you wish to submit a Fan Recollection, please consider writing about your initial reaction to hearing (or, in the case of the film, seeing) one of the following: the A Hard Day’s Night[ film; the Can’t Buy Me Love single; the A Hard Day’s Night single; the Long Tall Sally EP; the Capitol singles containing other songs from the film; the Match Box/Slowdown single; the British, American or Canadian A Hard Day’s Night album; The Beatles’ Second Album; the Something New album; the Canadian Long Tall Sally album; You may also write about the singles or albums containing the Hamburg recordings, as well as the Vee-Jay singles and albums such as: Jolly What!; Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles; and The Beatles vs. The Four Seasons. Bruce is not looking for an analysis about these great albums and singles, but rather your reactions to first experiencing them. There will not be space to publish fan recollections covering multiple topics, so please limit your recollection to one or two of the above topics. If you write about the Songs, Pictures album and you and your friends filled in your names or pasted your pictures on the back cover to show which Beatle loved you, or filled in the scorecard on the back of the Beatles vs. Four Seasons LP, please write about that. You can even send an image of the back cover to us for possible inclusion. Bruce is also looking for photos taken during 1964 of fans and the albums and singles covered by the book, or of you and your friends going to, or better still, at the movie. If you have pictures of you (and your friends) with Beatles records and memorabilia taken back in 1964, we would love to see them. We do not have space to run contemporary (recent) pictures of fans with their Beatles items. DEADLINE for SUBMISSION of RECOLLECTIONS: FEBRUARY 19, 2024 (sooner preferred) 200 word maximum. Shorter comments are fine. 498 Productions will begin taking advance orders for the new book in late February 2024. The publication date is not yet determined; however, the book will be published in summer or early fall of 2024. Those pre-ordering the book directly from 498 Productions will receive their copies of The Beatles A Hard Day’s Night & More in advance of the publication date. And, of course, the books will be signed by Bruce and personalized if requested.

JPGR&B SUBS 4th Jan 2024		Book John Harris - Get Back: The Beatles (2024)	A strange one this. It appeared on the market in the USA in early January 2024. Unknown publisher (unless someone out there has a copy!) and handbound in ivory bonded leather. Totally inaccurate depiction of the Savile Row building in the foreground and totally inaccurate buildings in the background which appear to be US-inspired skyscrapers. Talk about artistic licence!

JPGR&B SUBS 30th Dec 2023		Book René Termeer - Maccazine (2022)	@annaloog Yes, well even they can't make up their mind! In the same sentence on their website they say: "Maccazine is a hard copy magazine (a bound paperback) about Paul McCartney."

JPGR&B SUBS 30th Dec 2023		Book René Termeer - Maccazine (2022)	@annaloog. Possibly but despite the “zine” part of the title the publication these days is more akin to a paperback book.
JPGR&B SUBS 29th Dec 2023		Book René Termeer - Maccazine (2024)	Apparently sold out in a matter of hours!

JPGR&B SUBS 28th Dec 2023		Book Various Editors - The Journal Of Beatles Studies Spring/Autumn 2023 (2023)	It is good to see my advert for my unique online illustrated bibliography of The Beatles is on page 4 of the physical book too.
JPGR&B SUBS 28th Dec 2023		Book Various Editors - The Journal Of Beatles Studies Spring/Autumn 2023 (2023)	The Liverpool University Press website today lists the publication of the book to be 19 December 2023, so I have reflected that date in this entry for the book. My ordered copy of the book finally arrived with me today, Thursday 28 December 2023.
