My signed book arrived this morning! YAY!

What a fantastic book - the quality of the production, the photos, the writing.

Of course I quickly skipped to the Ozzy section.. I haven't had chance to read it properly yet, but wow.

This section answers a lot of questions and has some fantastic photos of Randy.

This is certainly the book to buy.

Well done Bob - it has been worth the wait!

Just got my copy earlier and am about to settle into the remainder of my evening with it.
Who am I kidding? May as well clear the decks for the next couple of days! :lol:
Once more, I thank Bob and Troy for their efforts, as well as making themselves available to the fans. 8)
Congratulations, Bob!

got my copy a couple days ago - having no problem with the binding - it's in perfect condition. And what a beautiful book!! Larger than a regular book and is quite vast. It will take long while to read the whole thing.
Bob really outdid himself. I've scanned a few pages and i've never seen a rock book looking this good. 10+ quality.
I'll post a review sometime in the near future, but this is a real gem - not to be missed.

Just spent some time (carefully) flipping through my signed copy, which was the first to arrive. All I can say is WOW! Definitely looks like it was worth the wait! Bob wasn't joking when he said he wanted this book to be great. I've just skimmed a few sections, as it's late, but there looks to be tons of info, and some great pics. Nice work, Mr. Daisley!

I don't know guys, between Bob's book and the Velocity book, I don't know that it's gonna get better than this, book-wise. I can say if there's never another book that discusses Randy ever published, I'm more than happy with what's out there. Bob has gone to admirable lengths to put forth a great product here.

I can see myself in the next few days reading this thing cover to cover.

Impressive, and WELL worth the money!

My second copy arrived today, so for everyone who had earlier editions with loose pages. The printers have started to dispatch the more sturdier copy. I'll keep this one in good condition as my first copy is in a sad state now, pity as that is the signed copy. I'm about two thirds through the book and it has been a very entertaining read with some great laughs on the way. What would you expect from the 'Prince of Daftness' full of waffle dust. Bob's mother proves to be a mystic fortune teller and her predictions are just unbelievable to predict that RR would die at a young age. How Bob was pre-warned but couldn't see the connection of the guy being Randy. As he was not in the Blizzard band when his Mom seen into this future window. Maybe if he had continued to play in the band in the earlier days things may have worked out differently while Randy was still alive. I don't want to give too much away, but enjoy the book it was a long time in the making, but well worth it.
