Product Description
Whenever John, Paul, or George went on a trip, they would send Ringo a postcard. Now, for the first time, Ringo Starr is opening his private archive to share this delightful and very intimate correspondence. Whether it's John advising Ringo to record a "great & simple" song like Blondie's Heart of Glass, Paul and Jane Asher dropping a note from Rishikesh to report on their meditation lessons with the Maharishi, or George writing from the Great Barrier Reef to confirm plans for Christmas dinner, each postcard is a warm and personal snapshot of life in (and after) The Beatles. The 51 postcards -- many of which are covered in whimsical drawings -- are colorfully reproduced, both front and back. Ringo's droll commentary fills in the blanks, though he does confess that at times he had to consult the Internet for details! Often funny, occasionally bittersweet, and always revealing, Postcards from the Boys is a must for Beatles lovers.

 A must-have for the Beatles fan! March 30, 2008
This book is a wonderful addition to the collections of fans of the Beatles! The postcards and notes/comments are mostly hilarious and very nostalgic in reminding us of the times in which they were written. What a great bit of insight into the lives, loves and travels of the Fab Four. I highly recommend "Postcards From The Boys".
.....With a little help from his friends. March 21, 2008
Postcards From The Boys by Ringo Starr, What a wonderful personal look into Ringo's personal friendships with Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon. Included in this colorful book are reprints of actual postcards sent to Ringo by the other Beatles from exotic locations around the world. Lennon and McCartney even illustrate them with drawings.
This is a rare inside look at the "Fab Four" outside of the media. A must for every Beatle fan or collector. Thank You Ringo for sharing this with us!
Inside Look At The Men Behind the B-E-A-T-L-E-S! March 13, 2008
A nice collection of real postcards sent to Ringo from "the boys" John, Paul, and George, that range in date from the late 60s to the late 80s, when they went on vacation. The postcards are a testament to the friendship that continued even after the Beatles broke up in the 70s(at least with Ringo).
Each side of the postcard is photographed and displayed on two pages so you can read the personal notes left by the sender along with little drawings etc. Ringo writes a brief description for each postcard and what was going on at that time (when he can remember) so you won't be left in the dark.
I found the book touching even though it was hard to read John's handwriting. :)
