The Compleat Beatles is a reference to a book by what author?
The Compleat Beatles The Compleat Beatles, released in 1982, is a two-hour documentary chronicling the career of the Beatles. Although it has since been supplanted by the longer and more in-depth documentary "Beatles Anthology", "The Compleat Beatles" was for many years largely regarded as the definitive film about the Beatles. The word "" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the intentional misspelling of "Beetles" and a reference to the famous book on fishing, "The Compleat Angler".
The American Claimant The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation, the first author (according to Twain himself) to do so. This was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature. Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time.
