'As Time Goes By' by Derek Taylor is a gorgeous piece of writing, even if you're not a huge Beatles fan.
'Tune In' by Mark Lewisohn is definitive on The Beatles up to the end of 1962, especially impressive on putting the individuals in their historical context. Never drags, despite the massive volume of detail.
Robert Rodriguez's 'Revolver' and Steve Turner's 'Beatles '66' are both excellent on the group's "best" album and the surrounding events.
I generally avoid biographies of the individuals because they usually disappoint.
