Description: The most complete, most accurate, day-by-day account of the history of rock 'n' roll, from the 1950s to the present. From the 1959 coroner's report on Ritchie Valens' death to Bob Geldof's "Band Aid" Project in June of 1985, the book is not only a written history but also a photographic one. It also includes never-before seen images and rare and exclusive memorabilia from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A Private View: Photos of the Beatles by Robert Freeman. Publisher: Big Tent Entertainment. Price: $60, with Limited Edition, $300.

Other: 200 photographs

Web information: beatlesprivateview.com.

Description: From 1963 to 1965, as the lads from Liverpool changed the world, photographer Robert Freeman went along for the ride, capturing it all — on stage, backstage, on the road and back home. Freeman was a force behind the early Beatles' groundbreaking visual appeal — from their first five album covers to the title sequencing of Help and A Hard Day's Night.

Diane Sawyers' Picks

The Art of Maurice Sendak: 1980 to the Present by Tony Kushner, with illustrations by Maurice Sendak. Publisher: Abrams. Price: $60.
