From the moment John, Paul, George and Ringo began playing together in the Summer of 1962, a pop legend was well and truly born. From their Liverpool roots the Beatles crafted a musical unique style with the classical trained background talents of their Producer, George Martin, and thus took the world of popular music by storm with what became known as Beatlemania.A Fab collection of full-page photos, from back in the day when they played and laughed together. From their first days together, to their first world tour in 1963, to the end when they dissolved the band in 1970. Lot of fun caught in these images, playful moods at studio sessions, live on stage and in-between. Many have not be published before and descriptions where and when the photo was taken are provided.They were a phenomenon that defined the sixties and their legacy is still very much alive today almost 50 years later. A visual treat for any Beatles Fan.

'Images of World War II' tells the story of the second great conflict to mar the twentieth century, captured here in pictures which illustrate the many phases of that war, from the declaration of war in September 1939 to the final joyous celebrations of VE Day and VJ Day.The photographs, restored to original condition, show in vivid detail the many faces of war. There was fighting on many fronts throughout the world and in many different terrains, from the deserts of north Africa, to the towns and cities of Europe, to the Pacific Ocean. 'Images of World War II' documents these momentous events but also pictures in stunning detail the lives of ordinary men, women and children as they went about their daily life, facing the dangers and deprivations of war with courage and defiance.
