New Beatles Fan Club Book, Dear Beatle People, To Premier At The Fest For Beatles Fans

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - March 16, 2023 - PRLog -- The long-awaited ultimate Beatles fan book, Dear Beatles People, by Sara Schmidt, is to be premiered at The Fest For Beatles Fans at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson, Jersey City, NJ, from March 31 through April 2, 2023.

Dear Beatles People (ISBN: 978-1-946182-25-8) is the never-been-told story of the Beatles fan clubs in the United States and Canada from 1963-1972, including the unsavory account of how the Official Fan Club attempted to sue the independent fan clubs.

There have been thousands of Beatles books written since 1964. Their music and lives have been analyzed and dissected more than any other group of four men in history. Dear Beatles People, however, does not focus on the Beatles' music or their lives. It is the story of the Beatle's fans and fan clubs across North America and how while being mostly teenagers, they were able to organize and run successful fan clubs. These are stories of fan club members who met The Beatles.

The book's author, Sara Schmidt, also authored Happiness Is Seeing The Beatles: Beatlemania in St. Louis (2016). She is the creator of the website "Meet The Beatles…For Real," where she regularly writes articles and reviews.

Dear Beatles People is published by the Texas Book Publishers Association, Houston, Texas, and distributed through Ingram Book Company and will be available for purchase on April 3, 2023, through most major book retailers. Dear Beatles People, hardback case laminated (ISBN: 978-1-946182-25-8, $69); perfect bound softcover paperback (ISBN: 978-1-946182-26-5, $49).

About The Fest For Beatles Fans

The Fest For Beatles Fans is the ultimate annual celebration of those four lads from Liverpool who took America by storm nearly 60 years ago.  Now in its 49th year, The Fest was launched in New York City in 1974 when founder Mark Lapidos thought of the idea for a 10th Anniversary Celebration of The Beatles' arrival in America. He went to John Lennon and received his blessing, who said, "I'm all for it. I'm a Beatles fan too!"

The Fest remains the largest and longest-running celebration of The Beatles anywhere in the world and will return to the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson for three days of peace, love, and Beatles on March 31, April 1 and April 2.
