The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatles'' beloved roadie, assistant, confidant and friend
A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Malcolm ''Mal'' Evans was an invaluable member of the Beatles'' inner circle. Serving as their long-time roadie, personal assistant and protector, he was a sometime lyricist, occasional performer and regular fixer at the height of the group''s fame and beyond.
But Mal''s dedication to his beloved ''boys'' and his own desire for stardom took its toll, leading to the dissolution of his marriage and his untimely death in January 1976.
Until now, Mal''s extraordinary life has remained shrouded in mystery. Drawing on hundreds of exclusive interviews and with full access to Mal''s unpublished archives - including his personal diaries, manuscripts and memorabilia - renowned Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack paints the first complete portrait of this complicated figure at the heart of the Beatles'' story.
Living the Beatles Legend is a fascinating but ultimately tragic tale about life at the edges of superstardom. -

From bestselling biographer Sean Smith comes the fascinating and tumultuous true story behind Sir Tom Jones, the nation''s treasure, sage of The Voice and living music legend. Celebrating his 75th birthday this year, Tom Jones'' life has been an unforgettable rollercoaster ride. From starting out in a little Welsh mining town where he married his sweetheart at just 16, who could have known that seven years later he would go on to become a major musical hit that would propel him to Bel Air? Through intimate interviews, Smith uncovers all this and more, including the years Tom spent as little more than a Vegas lounge singer, before being rediscovered in the late ''80s and becoming a maestro on the music scene once again. As revealing as it is entertaining, this is the definitive story of a great talent who is showing no signs of slowing down.

He is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. But even as the principle songwriter and lead guitarist for The Who, it would be unjust to define Pete Townshend's life simply through his achievements with bandmates Daltrey, Moon and Entwistle.
