The Beatles: The Biography is the name of a 2005 biography of the 1960s rock band The Beatles written by Bob Spitz.[1][2][3] It was first published by Little, Brown and Company on November 1, 2005.
The book received generally favorable reviews,[1] however some journalists and fans of the band noticed a number of factual errors in Spitz's biography.[4][5] Spitz has general been bitter towards his critics. When one of the editors for Daytrippin′, a Beatles fan zine, mailed the author a short list of incorrect facts in his book, Spitz replied: "You need an enema. Really! Do something useful with your life."[4]
