Kiss Launch New Book In London

The band were on hand at an exclusive book launch in London yesterday to give the media a preview of their new book, Monster.

The limited-edition book - which stands at three feet tall and two and half feet wide - is a retrospective featuring all the different eras of KISS in makeup, starting in the early years and continuing on to present day.

"A band that is bigger than life deserves a book that’s bigger than life," stated KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley. "You could call it a coffee table book, but if you put legs on it, it is a coffee table."

Only 1,000 copies of "KISS Monster" are being made available, priced at $4,250 from KissMonsterBook.com.

"It's not a cheap book because it is hand bound, handput together. It's the Rolls-Royce of books," said KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons.
