I had the chance to give it a brief look regarding
the mellotron stuff. I don't know about the rest
of the book, but all the mellotron stuff seems pretty accurate based on outside
info, and the posts of this list and it's members over the years. There's a
picture of the mahogany (not black!) Strawberry Fields tron which apparently
went to auction some time ago. The only thing the book is missing is
info on Harrison's use of his own Wonderwall machine.

Has anyone anyone seen this book? It's called "Beatles Gear", by Andy Babiuk. It should have some Mellotron photos and information, if it is as complete as they say (256 pages w/ 335 photos).
I have not seen this book yet, however here's a caveat, courtesy of Brian Kehew, who has seen it: There are lots of (unspecified) inaccuracies within its covers. I found the same thing with Mark Lewisohn's book, The Beatles' Recording Sessions. I'm sure it does have some cool info and pics, though.
