Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Beatles Anthology is a book published in October 2000 as part of The Beatles Anthology film project. It is billed as the only autobiography of the Beatles and contains interviews with all four band members alongside more than 1,200 rare photographs and colour illustrations.
John Lennon's passages were accumulated from archives and existing sources, including his December 1970 Rolling Stone interview, his September 1980 Playboy interview, and quotes from the 1968 biography of the band by Hunter Davies. His words were preserved verbatim from those prior publications rather than paraphrased.
The book was compiled, edited, and prepared for press by Genesis Publications. Neil Aspinall, who began as the band's roadie and later headed Apple Corps, oversaw the wider Anthology project.
The book was awarded the BCA Illustrated Book of the Year at the British Book Awards in London on the 22nd of February 2001. Those awards are popularly known as the Nibbies and have been running since 1990.
