A New Beatles Book Hits the Charts, Ahead of ‘Let It Be’ Film Re-Release
They nicked Paul's lyric with the book they wrote. "The Love You Make" and now it's John's turn to get the same rip off.
Paul said in the "Rockline" radio broadcast they were conned in giving interviews for The Love You Make.
Yoko thought of that same book as a 'balance book.' -
This perfectly illustrates why four films, one for each Beatle, is not a good idea. It all adds up to overload.....a massive one. Who will be interested? Everything that could be said and shown and told already has been multiple times.

The book All You Need is Love was written by two members of the Beatles' inner circle, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines, who first interviewed the members of the band for 1983 book, The Love You Make.
The book features interviews from the early 1980s with former Beatles members Paul, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, as well as John's widow Yoko.
It was not well received by the band or fans, with their devotees calling it 'The Muck You Rake'.
According the The Sunday Times, McCartney and late wife Linda 'tore the book apart and burned it in the fireplace, page by page' after it was published.
