Formed in east London in 1975, Iron Maiden went on to become one of the most successful rock acts in history. With more than 85 million album sales to their credit, the legendary metal band remains hugely popular worldwide: Their 2010 album, The Final Frontier, debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and received unanimous critical praise. In this, the first complete illustrated treatment of Iron Maiden, a roster of respected heavy metal journalists including Ian Christe, Martin Popoff, Mick Wall, Daniel Bukszpan, and more relate the band’s history, analyze their recordings, and provide a complete discography. The stories behind the band’s formation, recordings, and tours, are complemented with more than 400 images, including live performance and candid off-stage photographs, as well as memorabilia, gig posters, T-shirts, backstage passes, buttons, and tickets.

"If you are a fan of Iron Maiden, then The Ultimate Unauthorized History Of The Beast is a must own book for your collection. If you are a casual fan wanting to learn more about Iron Maiden and their amazing history, then consider this your Bible." - Rio Vie

"Iron Maiden fans are definitely going to want to make space on their bookshelves for this title, which tells the definitive, complete history of one of metal's most legendary bands through words, photos and the biggest visual collection of 'Eddie'-related merchandise you've ever imagined." - Ultimate Classic Rock
www.UltimateClassicRock.com
"In all, Daniels has crafted a very high-level and easy read with Iron Maiden - The Ultimate Unauthorized History of the Beast, and top it all off, it's packaged expertly, prime for your coffee table, where Eddie's piercing eyes await." - David E. Gehlke
www.blistering.com
"Iron Maiden: The Ultimate Unauthorized History of the Beast I believe is that book, the best, most comprehensive look at the band so far. Every Maiden fan should have this in their library." - Metal-Rules.com
"This is definitely a must-own for any Maiden fan or any fan of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene. For metal-merch fanatics like me, it's like porn. I would do bad things for the Maiden baseball tee on page 81. Be sure to check out Nathan Smith's look at Maiden fashion today on Rocks off, too." - Craig Hlavaty, Houston Press

"The book successfully brings together the graphic reproductions in a high-quality format with a hard-cover binding, heavy paper, and a die-cut cover that draws attention and closer scrutiny." - Eric C. Shoaf
Vintage Guitar Magazine
"...Voyageur Press is a fantastic publisher I recently discovered with an incredible series of "unauthorized" books. The Iron Maiden title mentioned in this blurb has an "Eddie" cut-out in the cover, is coffee-table-sized, and over 200 pages...The Green Day book I also picked up does not have a cut-out in the cover, but is chock full of rare images up through 2012. Plenty of great-looking non-music titles from this publisher I hope to check out as well." - Darren Paltrowitz

"This is quite possibly the most definitive tome on these British godfathers to date, which means you shouldn't let the 'unauthorized' tag throw you. All band interviews have been painstakingly culled from old press and media, compiling a well-rounded history from all involved, from the Di'Anno days of yore, through to the misguided Blaze Bayley era. Additionally, set lists, photos, minutia and a list of every single show (yes, every single show) the band has played through to the time of publication, and the input of several, prominent metal guest writers (Ian Christie, Martin Popoff, Mick Wall, Gavin Baddeley, etc.) mean this book is exhaustive in its completeness and obsessively deep. Leaving nothing to be desired, metallic-bashers of all makes will be quite hard-pressed to find anything more lovingly comprehensive on Maiden and their history. -Dylan Chadwick
