Looking for a special present for a Beatles fan.

Looking for a special present for a Beatles fan. I seem to remember some really cool handwritten framed lyrics and the like for sale in the old public radio Wireless catalog, which does not seem to exist anymore. Anyone have a line on a similar thing, or another Beatles-related gift that's kind of special?

The Beatlemaniashoppe here in Toronto does mail order. The guy who owns it is a FOAF, and seems a decent bloke.

What sort of beatles fan? The Anthology on DVD is quite nice, but if they're a musician, then see if you can track down a copy of this:

Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk
ISBN 0-87930-662-9
Published by Backbeat Books

It's a gorgeous hard-back coffee-table book affair, with scads of information about the gear the beatles uses, with enough big, glossy, full-color photographs to make any trainspotter's day. I got it for my recent b'day, and love it.

What your friend needs: Beatles nesting dolls (down the page; there are 16 different sets available, but one of them features Yoko as well).

Does he/she have a Butcher Cover? This one looks like it still needs to be peeled (instructions here).
