I've been a fan of this book ever since it first appeared about 10 years ago in hardcover. It's easily the best thing written about one of the oddest chapters in not only Beatle history but the annals of pop culture. Author Andru Reeve interviews nearly all of the principal figures in the hoax, provides abundant illustrations, and corrals all the "clues" and "theories" and any number of fascinating sidebar stories into a flowing narrative. The death rumor makes a great story and Andru Reeve gives it the treatment it deserves.
