Photograph Hardcover – Illustrated, 21 Sept. 2015

This is a beautifully presented coffee table book of photographs from Ringo Starr’s personal collection. It is fair to say that you can really ‘hear’ Ringo’s voice in the comments about the photographs; which is a nice way of saying that there is not a great deal of detail. Comments such as, “That’s a very nice portrait of John Lennon, looking rather spiffy,” or “These are shots that no one else could have,” kind of sum up the majority of the description. Yes, there are short pieces of writing about some pictures, but the real joy here is in the actual photographs themselves.These photographs divide into Ringo as a child (I found him easily enough in the picture of him at school – see whether you can do the same!), his adolescence, his time in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes and then, of course, the Beatles. There are a few post-Beatles, but the bulk of this book takes us up to the mid-Sixties. Along the way are wonderful bits of memorabilia – such as letters from Brian Epstein and Rory Storm – and great glimpses of Beatlemania from the inside (pictures taken from hotel rooms, of fans leaning to get a glimpse of a Beatle and of Mal and Neil, who formed pretty much the core of their entourage during those touring years).The book encompasses the early years; including filming, “A Hard Day’s Night,” and trips to Paris, Miami, India and Japan. and show the Beatles relaxed and at ease. If you are not a Beatles fan, this book probably will not mean much to you. If you are a fan, you will pore over every page. I particularly liked the photo’s of a young Richy and there are portraits of John and Paul in the studio that are easily as good as a professional photographer could have taken. A great glimpse into Ringo’s personal photographs and I am sure all fans thank him for sharing these with us.

Photograph by Ringo Starr, this is a lovely book. Ringo says such a lot without using too many words. Pictures accompany every paragraph bringing it all to life. There is something magical about it. And special to have one of the Beatles telling his own story rather than have a biographer doing it on his behalf. The photographs are brilliant and an inspiration to any photographer. The book although serious, it’s also very funny from time to time. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and read it in two sessions as it’s pretty gripping and full of intrigue.

Got this as a present for Christmas and it is brilliant. There are many photos that I have never seen before of The Beatles and it is nice to get a behind the scenes kind of look at them from Ringo's photos. There is nice little information on the photos from Ringo. I haven't had chance to read and look all the way through but it is a very impressive book. The look of the front cover, the pages and layout all scream quality. This would make a great gift for any Beatles fan and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Great beautiful book really well put together nicely , Ringo Starr is a legend love him so much . Great delivery as well great value to

Have yet to view the book thoroughly,but it seems to be very good at a quick browse, with many not seen before pictures.

A story of Ringo’s life in pictures - brilliant personal pictures. A must buy x

This is a wonderufl book and you can see how much love Ringo has poured into it. There are some intimate shots that only a member of the foursome could have captured and I would say indispensable for those Beatles' fans who value their books as much as they music collection.

Great book, hard to put down once started, 24 hr free delivery. Very pleased. Only one thing though, when I opened the book, the pages were upside down! Not a problem for me, just adds to the quirkiness of the whole thing!!

libro non sigillato ma arrivato in perfette condizioni

Es un libro que permite acercarte a la historia de Ringo, es genial

LO REGALÉ A UN FOTOGRAFO DE PROFESION Y LE HA ENVCANTADO ADEMÁS POR LA TEMÁTICA MÚSICA Y FOTO.LO RECOMIENDO TOTALMENTE MUY BONITA ENCUADERNACION¡¡

There are some very rare pictures from Ringo early years, which I've never seen ( And I've seen a lotgs about the Beatles). I love the book didn't finish reading it but I always wait for a quiet moment to really get taking away with the subject....Ringo is a great storyteller...We all know that...And this book is another proof.....Love it.

Le texte est en Anglais, mais c'est un excellent livre rempli de photos inédites...sur les Beatles, mais aussi sur les 60'
