Mark Lewisohn writing new Beatle book

Mark Lewisohn has confirmed for us that he is working on a multi-volume Beatle biography. "Yes, this project is happening," he told us in an email. "It has evolved from my original plan to
write an entire biography on 1963 alone."

"This is an exacting task which will occupy me for many years to come, but I
am tremendously excited by the challenge."

"Web reports that Crown Books have signed up the US rights are correct, as is
the stated structure of the project (1940-63, 64-67, 68-Now). I believe
Crown will be issuing some kind of press statement to the trade this coming
week. Time Warner has the UK rights."
