This is a first printing of a 1965 Dell paperback titled "The Beatles in HELP!" The author of this "novel" is Al Hine, who also wrote a novelization of the '60s TV show "Bewitched."
I didn't want to scan it because I did not want to ruin the spine, but at the end of the story, page 156, there's an inexplicable dedication that reads: "This book is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Mr. Elias Howe, who, in 1846 invented the sewing machine".

Somewhere I have a black and white copy of part of the Movie " Help " . As far as I know there is no sound , just parts of the movie . It came with a little hand held viewer . I think I ordered it out of some fan mag. I know I still have it here somewhere . I have not thought about it in years .
