The Beatles’ fan club magazine was *The Beatles Book*.

Yes, that’s the name. It launched in 1963, ran monthly through 1969 (with a few later revivals), and was exactly what it sounds like: photos, interviews, news, fan letters — the official newsletter for the club.

If you’re digging for Beatles ephemera, this is one of the better rabbit holes. The early issues are surprisingly candid, less polished than the major press coverage at the time. They’re also a time capsule of Beatlemania before it got exhausting.

Worth a read if you’re into the band. Not worth hunting down a mint-condition original unless you’ve got money to burn — reprints exist.
