Beatles Fan Clubs in North America, with author Sara Schmidt

Dear Beatle People: The Story of the Beatles’ North American Fan Club tells the stories of both the official and unofficial fan clubs in the US and Canada. With over 100 photos and rare historical documents like fan club membership cards and letters, this book gives new insights into the engine that fueled North American Beatlemania.

You may know Sara as the founder and editor of the website, Meet The Beatles...For Real, a treasure trove of memories and photographs from fans that have met one or more of The Beatles in person. She’s also the author of the book, Happiness is Seeing The Beatles: Beatlemania in St. Louis; and a contributing author to A is for Apple (Volumes 2 & 3); and has given presentations at Beatles conventions across the United States.
