Some Fun today -- book review

Okay so I have never reviewed a book that I haven't read all the way through before, but this book is so awesome that I didn't want to wait until I was done with both volumes to give a review.

I met the author Chuck Gunderson because of this blog.   He emailed me several years ago with some questions about some of the photos I had posted.    He was a regular reader of this blog.   He was one of the first people I had ever talked to that were actually "regular viewers."  I met him in person at the Fest for Beatle fans in Chicago.   Before long he told me about the book he was writing about the Beatles North American tours.    I had thought about writing such a book at one time.   Nothing has ever been published on the North American Tours that went into detail.   It was a gaping hole in Beatle books.    I was glad that Chuck was taking on the topic, because I do not think I would be able to do it justice.  

I have been anxious for Chuck's book since he first told me about it.    And now it is here!   His book ended up being a two book volume set.   The 1964 tour is in one volume and 1965/1966 is in the second.   The book, titled Some Fun Tonight is published much like one of Bruce Spizer's books.   It is in full color and hardcover.   It is a beautiful set of books.   Inside there are photos that were brand new to me along with concert memorabilia.  Each stop on the tours is discussed in detail along with stories from those who were there and fans.  

I started reading volume one last night.   So far it is awesome!   I am learning new nuggets of information and am loving every second of it.   When I get done updating this blog, I am anxious to go and read some more.

Also just an aside....if you look at the acknowledgments in the back you will spot my name.  

I can't recommend this book enough and I am not just saying that because Chuck is such a nice guy.   Really this is an awesome book set!
