The Official Price Guide to The Beatles Records and Memorabilia: 2nd Edition (Official Price Guide to the Beatles) Reviews:
Dissapointed 
2008-01-23 - This book is absolutely terrible, I don't know why they use the word memorabilia as there is hardly anything in it except records, I paid over $50 for this and I wouldn't give you a dime for it if I had to do it over again
TOTAL dissapointment on my end
Purported Expert Doesn't Care Enough to Correct Mistakes 
2007-04-24 - I'm not knocking this entire book; there's a lot of good info in here. What bothers me is that the supposed 'gospel' and 'official' price guide failed to accurately describe the availability of a certain Beatles Collection - BC 13 - Limited Edition box set released in the United States during the Christmas Holiday /December 1978.
As the facts still stand, this "retail release" was available to the general public, in stark contrast to Perry's statement of being only available to Capitol Record executives and industry affiliates. This type of sloppy journalism results in the creation of false perceptions in the market place...
Perry is da man 
2006-12-07 - The book is awesome. And a must if you are a collector.
I cant wait until Perry finaly releases his new book!
Don't waste your money !!!!!
2005-07-29 - If you want to learn anything about Beatles records, you are much better of getting copies of Bruce Spizers books,and tracking prices on Ebay. Forget about this overrated and out of date waste of money. I wish I found out before I blew a bunch of money on Ebay.
Official price guide for the Beatles records and memorabilia
2002-03-29 - It doesn`t matter if you have been collecting the Beatles for years or a novice just starting out,this book has something for everyone.Chock full of details like label variations and year of release.What better way to find the value of your record collection than by the experts, and Mr. Cox certainly is that.He has been writing the only official guide to the Beatles records for years.Now,this book is in a handy size so you can take it along to yard sales where you`ll know if you`ve found that treasure or not.For ebayers,this book is a money saver.No more,"I sold it too cheap cause I didn`t know the value" Highly recomended.
