PHILADELPHIA -- Beatles expert, author and radio show host, Jude Southerland Kessler, is proud to announce the Philadelphia debut of her third book, She Loves You, at the opening reception of the University of Pennsylvania’s Beatles symposium on February 27, 2014. The reception is free and open to the public.

Appearing with Ms. Kessler at the reception will be EMI recording engineer Richard Langham who worked as the second engineer during the Beatles recording of their Please Please Me LP.

On Saturday, March 1, Kessler will give a presentation, titled ‘Strawberry Fields Forever: Liverpool/The Beatles/John Lennon’, during the two day symposium that will include such notable speakers as Walter Everett, Larry Kane, Al Sussman, Donna Parsons and Anthony DeCurtis. Registration is required to attend.

She Loves You, the third book in the nine-volume biography John Lennon Series, opens with John Lennon and Brian Epstein’s trip to the Spanish Riviera in May 1963 and takes the reader on a 900+ page journey with Lennon through the Beatles first tour of the U.S.A. in February 1964. The book’s Foreword is written by Larry Kane (the only U.S. journalist to accompany the Beatles on their 1964 and 1965 tours of America) and the prologue is by Bill Harry (schoolmate of Lennon and the creator of Mersey Beat magazine).

Other books in the John Lennon Series include: Shoulda Been There – covering Lennon’s life from October 1940 to December 1961 and Shivering Inside – covering December 1961 to April 1963.

‘Tomorrow Never Knows: The Beatles in Text and Images’ runs from February 27 through March 1st at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library, University of Pennsylvania, 3420 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.
