I got this as a Christmas Gift I wanted it for awhile I am glad I have it.The book is straight to the point and then some,no Scholarly-type book or boring explanations or delving deep into why or the meaning of the songs,no political ramblings of any,a Biography on a Great band from The Glenn Danzig Days which were and are the best to this reviewer to the "New" Misfits and The Jerry Only-Misfits(sans Singer).for the softbound it has a few black and white photos,but even if you are a casual fan or you know everything there is to know,to my knowledge it is the first IN-Depth book on The Misfits,and Samhain and Danzig Is covered as well.It is a short read but fascinating and hope there will be other books to come on the much underrated yet very appreciated subject.
