Best George book?

I'm looking for the best book on George Harrison. Does anyone have any opinions? I haven't read any book specifically on George before.

The only book about George Harrison that I've read is "I, Me, Mine". Its a good read and I think it gives the reader a decent idea of who George was. Keep in mind, though, that George wrote this book himself, so his memories of events might not fit in with the memories of the other Beatles. For instance, I can remember reading that John Lennon was quite unhappy with this book. Not that there's anything bad written about John, but John felt he was left out of a lot of George's accounts. "I, Me, Mine" was written in 1980, so it might be that the bitterness from the Beatles breakup was still smarting for them all. Still..its a good read and who better to tell you about the life of George Harrison?

Another nice book about George is: George Harrison: De mysterieuze Beatle, written by Geoffrey Giuliano. Harrison is quoted as saying "This guy knows more about my life than I do."

I read this book by the Editors of Rolling Stone. It's called "Harrison."

Pretty good, though not my favorite.

George is my favorite Beatle... :D

The Life of George Harrison by Marc Shapiro is quite good.

Giuliano is a hack. For one he falsely claims to have been "in the inner circle". (If all who claimed to be "the fifth Beatles," or a "member of the inner circle" were actually either or both, then there would have to be an enormous building to contain them all).

For another, everything he writes -- even when repeats of what others have written, or when BS -- has a title with the word "Mysterious" in it. And yet nothing he has to say is unknown or mysterious.

Giuliano didn't show on the scene until the 1980s.

Stick with those who actually knew The Beatles to some actual degree, such as Philip Norman or Hunter Davies. (Peter Brown is not included among the reliable, though he worked at Apple. Ask yourself: Why did he wait until Lennon was dead, and couldn't answer back, if what he had to say was actually true?)

As for books on Harrison exclusively: "Rolling Stone" would be at least among the best because most of the writers of "Rolling Stone" actually knew The Beatles.
