Bøker om Kiss og Kiss- relaterte bøker
-Hva som er verdt og ikke verdt å ha.

Det er lett å gå seg vill i skogen av Kiss bøker. Men jeg skal her prøve å lose deg igjennom hva som er verdt og ikke verdt å eie av bøker. Noen har kanskje lest noe av dette i engelsk versjon på www.kissmagazines.com. Men jeg tenkte det kunne være greit med en norsk, oppdatert og litt fyldigere versjon av boksiden. Jeg har fått mange bokrelaterte spørsmål så det virker som det er interesse for temaet.
Alt du trenger å vite om bøker og Kiss.

About: These two books are really quite difficult to say much about. They are more or less cool collectables. if your looking for real information about Kiss then you have to go somewhere else. The books are a mix between fact and fiction. Some of the content are very dramatized by the writer.
Most of the pictures are really cool and have not been seen many other places. The first time I read the "Headliners" book in 1981 I could not remember anything afterwards. I re-read both when I bought them on ebay a couple of years ago and they did not do much impact then either. But they are both cool collectables.

KISS: The Real Story
By: Tomarkin, Peggy

Published April 1980, 112 pages

Out of print

About: As the first two books I have really problems viewing this as a book. To me it's more or less a collectable. A really cool collectable by the way. It's the first real Kisstory we ever got. Even if the layout isn't that great the story is quite cool. So if your abel to get your hands on the book, then buy it. It's worth having in your collection.

KISS: On Fire

Published 1984
Out of print

About: Not really a book. But a cool swedish collectable from the Animalize area. A lot of cool B/W pictures from the swedish part of the Animalize tour. There are not that many good shots of the avilable so just that makes the "book" quite interesting.

I know there were a Finnish edition of "On Fire" and maybe an English on also?
This "book" I belive was made by the Swedish fan-club at the time? If you have any information about this please letme know.

KISS: Shout it out

Published 1985
Out of print

About: A lot like "On fire" but thicker and a little more contet. I really liked the book when it came out. There are quite a few photos of the european version of the Animalize stage. A stage that it's pretty difficult to find pictures of elsewhere.

The book was a collaboration between Kiss Fan-Club and Melody Line (a store in Gothenburg).

KISS: Still on fire

Published 1988
Out of print

About: Another book published by Melody Line. It was the most informative Kiss book released at the time. The first time we got a book with the good version of the Kisstory up until that time. There are also a lot of nice pictures in the book.

The last part of the book is about most vinyl bootlegs that excisted at the time with great color shots of most of the covers.

There is also a hilarious photo of Johan Falk (Johan Johansson) at the time at his first Kiss concert. Johan has also taken most of the photos from the Asylum period in this book.

About: It was a great book when it came out and can still be used as a reference book for some stuff today. But most of the content is quite outdated. Anyway the book is a nice addition to a Kiss collection.

Kissed

Published June 1993(?)
Out of print

About: This is the only book featured there that I haven't managed to get hold of yet. But I borrowed it a couple of times in the early 90's from a guy I used to trade videos with.

From what I remember its compiled from interwievs from the "Kiss this" fazine and some other sources. At the time I thought the book was pertty damn cool. But then again there were not that many books about Kiss out at the time. So I could be wrong.

If anybody has the book and want to sell it please let me know.

KISStory

Published March 1995, 440 pages
ISBN: 9994556444

About: This was supposed to be the "Kiss bible" but It is not (Kiss Alive Forever is). When it comes to the pictures it gets full points. The story in the book isn't that good or well written.

Even if I probaly seem a little negative about the book it's a book a Kiss fan must have. It just could have been soooo much better.

But the book is worth gettin hold of just for all the amazing pictures and old articles.
