From the back cover:

Between 1963 and 1965 The Beatles undertook six amazing UK tours and along the way met many fans whose memories of these encounters tell the real story of what actually happened when the Fab Four hit the road. It was loud, chaotic and as exciting as anything Britain had ever seen. It was Beatlemania!

The passing of the years has turned The Beatles into a rock deity but back in the early Sixties they were, at least at the beginning, just another pop group hoping to make it. Access to them was not policed by lines of security men, nor did they closet themselves away from the public behind high walls and locked gates.

Author Martin Creasy has traced the trajectory of The Beatles' UK tours and interviewed scores of people who in some way connected with John, Paul, George and Ringo en route. They include other performers on the bills, theatre and hotel employees, journalists and photographers, and - most of all - the fans, some of whom were lucky enough to meet and talk with the group. Their testimonies uncover a fascinating and previously undocumented side of the Fab Four.

Beatlemania! is a celebration of a time before The Beatles became Fab, a time of innocence and fun when the greatest pop group the world has ever seen first exploded in their homeland. It is one of the greatest stories ever told.
