The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book

By Michael J. Hockinson

Book Overview

When Beatles fans get together, these are kind of questions they hurl at each other: crazy, clever, and arcane; gleaned from decades' worth of listening and reading between the lines. The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book is the most elaborate and entertaining collection of these questions, trivial and otherwise, that has ever been compiled by a rabid Beatlemaniac. Carefully selected and arranged to appeal to eager beginners, car-radio-sing-alongers, and even the most jaded diehards (and we mean it!), it's also an unstoppably readable, one-of-a-kind mine of facts, photos, and Fab Four lore. Born in Vancouver, Washington, in 1960, Michael J. Hockinson has been afflicted with second-generation Beatlemania since October 1972, when "Yellow Submarine" had its network TV premiere (on CBS, for all you trivia buffs who read author bios for priceless tidbits). A free-lance writer and correspondent for Beatlefan magazine, he still lives in Vancouver with his wife.

Customer Reviews

such a fun book!!

The Beatles quiz book is so fun to read! when i read something very shocking it keeps me hooked. Everything is very interesting and im nearly obsessed with the Beatles-Im huge fan. I didn't know much about the Beatles before I read the quiz book. It has very interesting and Detailed Qs and As. Michael J. Hockinson did did a great job. I ordered it as used and it was in a good condition. It's like reading the biography on The Beatles, but in very fun way. Any Beatles fan should order this-I highly recommend! XD

You will learn something from this book, guaranteed. There are 50 chapters, each devoted to a different aspect of Beatles trivia. Full of rare pictures and a comprehensive index. This book is great.

Far More Than A Quiz Book!!!

This book has so much more information about "The Beatles" than any others I've read... including The "NEW" Anthology!!! The author is obviously an "EXPERT" in all that is "Beatles". I pride myself as quite the Beatles aficionado, but this book is so far beyond anything I can relate to, it's not even funny. The amount of work that went into the creation of this book is simply mind boggling. Every Beatles fan on the planet should own this book. If you "think" you "know" The Beatles; this book will challange you beyond your wildest dreams. By far the "Best" resource ever written on "The Fab Four". Thank You Mr. Hockinson; for a job well done. The "Ultimate" to say the least.

The only trivia book you'll ever need

This book is really a history of the Beatles cunningly disguised as a trivia book. The author has an extensive and exhaustive knowledge of his subject, as the reader soon becomes painfully aware. These questions are highly entertaining, but they'll make your brain bleed. Bottom line: written for Beatles' fans by a hardcore Beatles fan. What could be better?
