This article is most definately a stub, and needs a lot of work. A photo of a book cover perhaps, and a change in Beatles categorisation (Beatles biographers?). It has a good selection of works section, complete with ISBNs.--Mal (9 March 2006)

Actually, the ISBN for the original publication was missing, the one from 1968, by McGraw-Hill. I just found it and added it. I don't know why this:

<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.music.indiana.edu/som/courses/rock/davies.html |title=Interview with Hunter Davies 
 |accessdate=2007-02-04 |author=Dr Glenn Gass |last=Gass |first=Glenn |year=2002 |month=June 
|work=Z401: The Music of The Beatles |publisher=Indiana University School of Music 
|quote=Released in 1968, when the group's future still seemed limitless, the book was an engaging and surprisingly 
 honest firsthand account.}}</ref>

was referenced instead of the ISBN for the book, so I removed it, but am placing it here, in case it is of relevance somewhere else in the article that I didn't realize.

Agreed, otherwise, regarding a book cover photo, and everything else Mal said. --FeralOink (talk) 11:52, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
