Monthly copy of The Beatles Book from October 1963, No. 3, 22 pages, 6 x 8.25, with the front cover depicting the Beatles playing in a swimming pool, signed in ballpoint by John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. In fine condition, with corner creasing and light handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, which states that the signatures were obtained on December 15, 1963, during rehearsals for the Beatles' appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars at Alpha Television Studios, Aston, Birmingham, England. On this Merseyside edition of Thank Your Lucky Stars, the Beatles mimed performances of 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' 'All My Loving,' 'Twist and Shout,' and 'She Loves You.' Also included is a letter of provenance from the cousin of the original recipient: “My cousin Alan Bailey worked on ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’ during the 1960’s. He acquired these autographs during rehearsals.” Boasting great imagery and strong signatures, this is a wholly uncommon vintage Beatles booklet from the height of 'Beatlemania.'
