Kiss announce retrospective book worth over $4k, "as tall as a guitar"

Kiss have announced the release of a limited-edition retrospective book that will be "as tall as a guitar".

Measuring three feet tall and two and half feet wide, Kiss Monster will feature unseen photographs from the band's 40-year history in what they claim will be the largest rock book ever published.



Just 1,000 copies of the book will be available to fans. Each one will be individually numbered and signed by all the band - Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.

Kiss Monster can currently be purchased for the pre-launch price of $3,499 (£2,231). The price rises to $4,299 (£2,742) after launch.

"Anyone who has experienced a Kiss performance knows the bigger, louder and heavier, the better! The sheer size of the images the book contains means that the level of detail, vibrancy and intimacy is incredible, bringing the Kiss experience alive," a statement on the book's website reads.

"Some of the close-up photographs are, quite literally, larger than life! this is the closest any fan could ever get to their heroes without an access-all-areas pass."

Kiss will headline a concert at London's HMV Forum tomorrow (July 4) to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity.
