The book relies on articles from 1969 and 1970 magazines and newspapers to report on what fans knew about the sessions and the planned albums that were never issued, as well as reviews of the unreleased and released albums. There are also chapters on 1970 current events and music and film, plus a detailed breakdown of all of the songs released from the sessions. The fan recollections chapter includes stories from those were fortunate enough to be up on the roof for the Beatles final public performance on January 30, 1969, along with one from a fan on the ground. This book measures 9" x 9" and includes images in both color and original black & white.The Beatles Finally Let It Be is the perfect companion to the other books in the album series, the Get Back film directed by Peter Jackson and the anniversary edition of the Let It Be album.
