Postcards from the Boys by Ringo Starr

I am a huge Beatles fan, and every so often I add another book to my collection. This one released by Ringo in 2004 is a collection of postcards sent to him by "the boys". Accompanying them are Ringo's comments; his thoughts and memories of the particular time the cards encapsulate. They vary widely from the whimsical to the bizarre, with scribbled haikus, drawings, and private jokes, dashed off in friendly fashion. I guess what these cards really show is the fact that through all the ups and downs and ins and outs that the Beatles as a group experienced, their friendship remained. They stayed friends even if they couldn't stay Beatles.
