A rare complete set of original Beatles Monthlies, aka "The Beatles Monthly Book." This set has all 77 issues published, beginning with #1 (August 1963) and ending with #77 (December 1969.) Individual issues of these are difficult to find, especially the first ones, but it's almost impossible to assemble a complete set of every issue (note: these were reissued, but these are all original first printings.)(br)Each issue is complete and in Near Excellent to Near Mint condition. A small number of the issues have the original owner's name on the front cover (written small in virtually every case)–but as you can see from the photo, it's a very minor issue at most.(br)The monthlies are housed in a custom made "clam shell" linen box sized to contain the set perfectly–with gold stamping on the edge. This was commissioned recently by a rare book dealer, and it's stunning (and expensively made.)(br)Every issue is filled with great Beatles photos, articles, and band information. Very rare and wonderful–from the Beatles at their peak ! Note: the set and box are quite heavy and will extra to ship safely, but it's worth it.
