Are there any good books out there about Ringo? (Not Postcards from the Boys, which I've read, I mean actual biographies.)

The only one I have is the Ringo Starr Encyclopedia by Bill Harry. It's not exactly a biography, more of a reference book, and part of a series (one for each Beatle and one for the group as a whole).

There's a Ringo biography called Straight Man or Joker (can't remember who it's by). I haven't read it myself but I've heard that it's not very good.  |

I seem to remember this book, it has been a long time since I read but the author is Alan Clayson. I guess people think that Ringo's life is so linked to the Beatles story that there would be no interest in what he has done since. I would love to know more about the last thirty seven years, the highs and lows of Ringos life would be worth reading about as he is such an interesting character. |

Yes, Straight Man or Joker is the only actual Ringo biography. My mom has read it and said that it was alright. At one point I had heard that another biography was going to be written, but I don't think anything came of it.

Ringo was supposed to be making a TV documentary about his life. I read about it last year but I haven't seen any more news about it since then.
