The Art of Metal: Five Decades of Heavy Metal Album Covers, Posters, T-Shirts, and More Hardcover – October 15, 2013

It came and i spent three hours on the couch perusing it, with a bourbon, and my grado headphones pumping the metal, and i'm loving it. Seems well researched and edited.I only wish they had made the pages closer to LP sized (~12x12) instead of 9.5x11 for extra oomph -- it seems like a book on album cover art should be the SIZE of an album cover, doesn't it?

If you buy this book or are even thinking of buying it, you probably own half the albums in here. But it's well worth it - since the backstories are compelling. Very sweet package

I got this as a Christmas present for a friend who loves metal. It is so awesome that my husband was super jealous and wants one for himself! Great book!

Pretty cool span of old and newer metal artistry with a little background included. Great coffee table hardback to keep around or in the man cave!

My boyfriend is a metalhead who collects books. He doesn't have this one...I'm sure he is going to enjoy it.

great price, fast shipping. thank you

It was purchased as a gift and the recipient was thrilled with it.

A very comprehensive and beautiful volume! I was very pleased with this purchase and gifted it to my grandson who really enjoyed it.

I bought this for my (rock star in waiting) brother and he seemed to like it.I had a flick through before wrapping, and it looked interesting.

I love this book!

Lovely book. My nephew was delighted. It is a piece of art in itself. Much admired at Christmas by all the family.

Just received the Art of Metal book. When I placed my order, I was only expecting a great book, featuring great designs and illustrations that's displayed on heavy metal album covers. The book turned out to be much, much more than that. I was not expecting such a beautiful work, deep, extensive research has been made, covering a wide scope on the entire genre. Countless illustrations. Artists, bands and producers alike talking about art. This book is to metal album covers what Ride the Lightning is to music: nothing less than a masterpiece.

stupendo libro, con introduzione di lemmy, non contiene moltissime grafiche, ma la selezione fatta da un maestro come lemmy che apprezza l'arte del cd, bisogna averla. Da grafico, consiglio a tutti di darci uno sguardo
