Example of Boundless Imagination
Every die hard Beatles fan needs to have this book in their collection. It is a brilliant collaboration of art and music. Both professional artists and amatuers unite to illustrate the songs of a band that was a cultural phenomenon. Yes, there is nudity in this book, but looking past that you will see the beauty of boundless creativity. Psychadelic is the appropriate word for this book. It is amazing and you will have an enjoyable time screaming your favorite lyrics throughout your home or on a street corner. A MUST HAVE!
