TEXT God Bless e-bay; you can acquire ANYTHING your heart desires; limited only by your knowledge and finances!
I have recently acquired an original first printing of the excellent book "Beatles Forever" which features of course a version of the famous 'Rubber Soul' photo on the cover.
In historical retrospect, this book is a grail of sorts, as it was one of, if not THE first compilation of "everything" Beatles from all the years the group existed.
As you might figure, this book was reprinted and I'm guessing "updated" throughout the years. It is now long out of print, unfortunately.
For our 60IF purposes here, SUN KING has often mentioned that we have to GET BACK to vintage publications to see unaltered rare pics of Faul before they were 'messed with' and doctered to better fit the impersonation. I feel this first printing of this book indeed has several photos which show the glaring differences between Paul and Faul.
So, sit back, relax, and scroll through the beatles items on e-bay and search for magazines and books which date before 1978...you too may find some original evidence which has since long been sanitized and manipulated....if not completely denied from public view.

Oddly, I've found a Beatles calendar for next year in a little shop in town, and you can clearly spot the altered pictures from the genuine ones. All the images used, I think, are in the public domain, and most seem to be from pre-1966 - classic Beatles pics.
I think I'll pick it up today, and scan in the images - let you all have a look.
