Editorial Review:
During the 60's Ellis was Chief Executive of NEMS Enterprises, Brian Epstein's company, at the time when the Beatles became global super-stars. This is an insider's account of how he took a leading role in turning NEMS from a ramshackle organization into one of the most successful entertainment companies in the world and helped to launch the careers of many of the most significant players.
I Should Have Known Better: A Life in Pop Management--The Beatles, Brian Epstein and Elton John Reviews:
Worthwhile for the committed Beatles reader 
2006-09-09 - Rather than rehash the famous story one more time, or seek to glorify his own contribution, former Beatles accountant Ellis provides a brief but enjoyable trot through what he saw and did inside the history-making Beatles machine.
It's written in a clipped and somewhat fractured style, almost as if the author had to be persuaded to record his recollections for posterity's sake rather than his own, but it's all the more refreshing for that.
Look elsewhere for gossip, opinion or a Beatles bio, but pick it up if you're looking to round out your Beatles library.
And I do hope the other reviewer will soon be able to finish the book, and then his review.
I Should Have Known Better 
2006-03-22 - So far, I have been unimpressed with this book. I am interested in the subjects, but don't care for the author's rather bland writing style.
