From the back cover:

Frequently falling foul of some form of Fab Four fanatical faction?
Constantly ridiculed for your radical yet rational views?
At last, help is at hand...

This book is a satirical and sometimes surreal self-help guide, which as well as challenging the orthodox perception of the Beatles' status, presents an oppressed minority with a complete defence strategy for dealing with any Fab Four fans reluctant to give peace a chance.

By breaking Beatles' fans down into seven groups, the author offers an invaluable insight into the mindset of each individual strain. Why would anyone claim to enjoy the Beatles' music? What's in it for them? (The reasons the Nostalgic Impolitic. for example, will chose to become a fan will vary greatly from those of the Latecomer or the American. They all long to fit in, but where and with whom?). Once you learn to identify which fan type is harassing you, simply follow the advice suggested in this book for dealing with that particular strain, and before you can say Pet Sounds, the fan will be retreating in defeat.

The groundbreaking research expounded in these pages is also recommended reading for any form of Fab Four fan (apart from the Beatle Head), who may be interested in learning how to distinguish between articulate, cutting edge rock 'n' roll and bombastic, bubblegum claptrap.

Gary Hall was born in Liverpool in 1964 and has been painstakingly researching this book ever since.

Cover price: £5.99.
