According to a press release, the Kiss 'Monster' book offers a larger-than-life journey through 40 years of Kiss with an intimate collection of 127 photographs by world-renowned rock photographers, including rare and never-before-seen images sourced from the band's own archives.

The massive book is a collector's goldmine, with just 1,000 copies available and individually signed, dated and numbered by the four members of the current line-up, featuring Eric Singer on drums.

Printed in high-definition inks by one of the world's finest limited-edition and large format printers, each copy has been hand stitched-and-bound in Italy, by the same binder used by The Vatican.

Eleven different covers with matching signature pages have been produced, and anyone buying the book can choose their cover when they place their order. The pictures inside include unseen gems, old 35mm slides, famous moments and brand new pictures that bring the band right up-to-date. Lead vocalist Paul Stanley comments:

"This book is way beyond my expectations. The photos are incredible at this size. It's not a coffee table book, it's a coffee table!"

The price tag is probably gonna hurt a lot of fans. It has a staggering launch price of $4250 USD (€3448 euro or £2712 GBP). That's including free shipping. For more information, please visit www.kissmonsterbook.com.
