A One-of-a-Kind Book from The Beatles

If you're looking for that unique gift for The Beatles fan in your life, then this could be the one, as more than 300 pages of typed legal documents related to their break-up are up for auction.

Denise Kelly of Dawsons auctioneers says, "I just couldn’t put them down until I had read every page.

"As I read the minutes of meetings - notes which included discussions between the legal teams and accountants - I wondered how on earth they were going to sort everything out, and at times I could sense panic in the room as more and more complexities came to light.

"One of the lawyers even suggested during one meeting when they had gone round and round and round in circles: ‘Would it be easier if The Beatles just retired?’

"[And] It has crossed my mind that if I were a script writer, these documents would be all I'd need to tell the real story of what led to one of the best-selling bands in history splitting up and going their separate ways."

The papers were recently discovered, but their whereabouts for 50+ years is unknown.

The Beatles broke up in 1970, and it was made legal in 1974.

They're expected to sell for between $6- and $10,000 when they're sold on December 12th in Maidenhead, England.
