Sixteen wild and little-known stories of forgotten Fab Four history—and the colorful characters who loved, supported, exploited, and cheated the band.
 
The Beatles: Fab but True examines sixteen stories about the Beatles that range from the merely bizarre to the cosmically coincidental. Unlike the countless other Beatles books that have been written over the decades, The Beatles: Fab but True does a deep dive on some of the lesser-known—but more remarkable—aspects of the lives and career of the Fab Four and their numerous and colorful associates and colleagues. You’ll learn:
 
 • How a lucky bet on a longshot racehorse helped birth the Beatles
 • How a drum salesman and a partially disabled sign-writer created the enduring Beatles logo
 • How Paul McCartney conjured the fictional name Eleanor Rigby in 1966, only later to find that the real one lay buried beneath his feet
 • How the Beatles battled racial segregation in the South and played the first integrated concert at the Gator Bowl
 • Why the Beatles were labeled as “hustlers” by the Rolling Stones
 • How an innocent musical homage to Chuck Berry got John Lennon entangled with a music industry mobster, and more
