The Encyclöpedia of Heavy Metal

A comprehensive resource about all things metal. This book is dryly funny, it's illustrated, and it includes a whole hell of a lot of knowledge about metal history, bands, famous people and events, and different subgenres. Includes bands like Black Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC, Killswitch Engage, Mastodon, Girlschool, and many many more. This is the tenth anniversary edition that was updated in about 2012, so it's current up til then.

(This book may contain a small, black sharpie mark on the bottom edge, so that it can't be returned to a different wholesaler.)
