• Queer: A Graphic History, as the name announces, is pretty much exactly what your looking for in in the LGBT history deptartment.
  
  
• Love is Love isn't historical yet. But's is a response and testament to the Pulse massacre in Orlando, a historical event in LGBT history.
  
  Music
  
  
• The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song is a fantastic biography of the First Family of Country Music. It won an Eisner award, if you put stock in those sorts of things. In addition to the music history it touches on the the Great Depression and on the sociology of the rural South.
  
  
• Definitely going to second /u/DobbyDude on The Fifth Beatle. Interesting narrative structure and some of the most beautiful art I've seen in a comic.
  

Don't know if you're talking about this graphic novel, If not, it's a great read for a Beatles fan.

Last year, I watched this beautiful Spanish film about a teacher and two young somethings travelling across Spain to meet John, who was stationed to shoot How I Won The War. You could probably try getting a copy of the film. It's shot with great finesse, among other good things about the film.

Mattel recently released a line of Yellow Submarine-themed collectibles. They look pretty funky and should be a great gift.


Philip Norman, who wrote what many consider to be the definitive Beatles biography and also went on to write one on John, has come out with Paul's biography this year. Here are some interesting things The Telegraph thinks one could learn from the biography.
