Spotted a new Beatles Book in Asda today..can't recall it's name
something like "Beatles Valuables" or something of that ilk..nothing
special though the box is quite nice..features lots of photos we've
all seem before with envelopes inside the book that have facsimiles of
posters etc inside them...suppose I should get it for completion
porpoises...

On the front it says "Completely unofficial and unauthorised"..the
back cover has pictures from the White Album photos (the glossy ones
that came with the LP)...thing is I wonder how they manage to publish
such books without apple sueing them..same with the unoffical
calanders that spring up every year.

store. Sealed box says is has reproductions of lots of beatle stuff,
but does not say what is really inside the box..

It's "Treasures of the Beatles", assuming this is what you're talking
about:

http://www.amazon.com/Treasures-Beatles-Terry-Burrows/dp/1402773455/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258987255&sr=1-15

Something about the pages shown there remind me of "The Beatles: An
Illustrated Record", an old book I had when I was a teen. As for the
memorabilia reproductions, I"d like to see more info about what's
incuded. And I wonder if it's just a picture of the item on the page,
or actual seperate pieces like that Lennon book that came out a few
years back.

That book was called "Lennon Legend: an illustrated life of John
Lennon" FYI:

It's separate pieces in envelopes stuck to pages in the book. There's
only about 4 envelopes though.

It's got nice photos in it, but god knows how the reproduced them
without permission.
