Peter Asher's "The Beatles from A to Zed": It could have been so much more

About five years ago I told a friend I was thinking about writing a book. He said, "About the Beatles?" I replied sarcastically, "Yeah, because that's what the world needs. Another book about The Beatles."

It's impossible to pinpoint a number, but there are thousands, maybe in the tens of thousands, of books written on The Beatles. I found an author, Mark Lewisohn, who has written more than twenty by himself. So, yeah, the world really didn't need another book about the Fab Four.

But yet, when I found out that Peter Asher was writing a Beatles book, I could help but to be excited. Here's a guy who is a musical legend in his own right. He was the first name in the duo "Peter & Gordon." He's been a long time record producer and manager; working with illustrious names like Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor and Cher. In fact, he was the one who brought Taylor to the attention of The Beatles and had him signed to his first record deal with Apple.
