If you pre-ordered from Amazon, you're only going to pay $24 now. I could not find how many pages, though. http://www.amazon.com/Tune-In-Beatles-These-Years/dp/1400083052/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380335895&sr=8-1&keywords=tune+in+the+beatles
It says 944 pages in the description.
I still don't see it
Duh! Is this the one you're getting? It's the only one I saw on Amazon.
The 1728 page Special Edition is only on amazon.uk right now. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Beatles-Extended-Special-Edition/dp/1408704781/ref=pd_cp_b_0

I started reading You Never Give Me Your Money last night and couldn't put it down until 2:30am. I've had it for a while, but had never read it. Anyone know if Doggett's research holds water? He seems very even handed, trying to tell it from all four's perspective. Can't wait to get the new book. I did not see a Deluxe choice on Amazon.
Deluxe is only on Amazon UK. Doggett's book is fantastic and very well researched. I would say it absolutely holds water, and when it came out, it was the first new Beatles book I'd read in probably 15 years that I actually learned something new from.
I completely agree with Dr .Beatle. I adore the book You Never Give Me Your Money. I couldn't put it down once I started to read it. It goes into so much detail of the break-up and solo years, I learned new information about that time (which is rare for me because, as many of us know, once you read several books you know their story so well, we don't learn anything new anymore). I really like that the author doesn't play favourites in the book either. He praises them at times, but also points out their flaws/mistakes-a very good read for any Beatle fan.

Great point! Unlike a lot of other Beatles books, as you said, he doesn't play favorites...he's equally as harsh and praising of all 4 of them. Contrast that with someone like Philip Norman who worships John, hates Paul, and dismisses George and Ringo as afterthoughts. Lewisohn's book is the same as Doggett's...loads of new little revelations and giving all of them equal time. I'm nearly a quarter of the way through it and really enjoying it an incredible amount.

It's got to be good, then. Not long to wait, now.

Just scroll down to the description--says "Hardcover 944 pages" I imagine this is the one I'll get.

The massive Bob Spitz Beatles book was highly enjoyable, I still maintain. I didn't notice a lot of errors.

Then you must not have read it carefully.
Even the picture captions are cocked up. The amount of new little tidbits of info I've learned so far in the Lewisohn book is incredible...he definitely did his detective work and then some!

I'm at the point now where I can barely put it down...since Monday I've mowed down another ~250 pages, halfway through it now. I hope to have my review done and published in another week or so

Your review is really an enjoyable read and great take on the book. Makes me want to read it even more now. Thanks for sharing that!

Thanks for the kind words, and glad you liked my review. I'm sure you and everyone else will love this book, it was one of those "can't-put-it-down" books. I wish the wait for volumes 2 and 3 wasn't so long!
