I'm yet to see a book that covers this era of hard/heavy rock that really satisfies me, but they all have something going for them. Even Chuck Eddy's Stairway to Hell, while not being at all reliable, is still heaps of fun to read over and over, and did actually put me onto a few good things (like the first J.D. Blackfoot album).
Anyway... I just ordered Popoff's Blue Oyster Cult book, Secrets Revealed, which BOC fans seem to agree is great, and the current edition has heaps of photos added in and more info that wasn't in the first one, which now seems to be a collector's item like Krautrocksampler! I know he's really into BOC and I am too (to a point - I think their studio albums get real inconsistent - more filler, less killer - starting with Agents of Fortune), so hopefully I'll be pleased with this one. As far as I know it's the only book on the band, so it's not like I had to try to pick what would be the one to buy ;-)
