Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk- both biographical from each of their childhoods and how they got going and all about how and why they got what they used when and for what.
All You Need Is Ears by George Martin - if he hadn't had the ears and an open mind in '62, the rest would NOT have been history.
Here, There and Everywhere by Geoff Emerick - pretty much a bio of Emerick, but he takes you inside the sessions he first assisted on then engineered for Martin, and later, as his own boss. Insight without rah-rah about the behavior and relationships of the Fab 4 from his perspective (a McCartney admirer ... goes beyond the Beatles into Mac's Wings years, like recording Band On the Run.)
