I saw that listing and thought it sounded interesting. Has anyone seen the book?

I was out doing some christmas shopping and saw that this had finally come out and decided to treat myself.It is a pretty massive tome which could easily find a spot on one's coffee table and provide hours of enjoyment.It seems to cover a pretty wide range of artists and bands from around the country.The one downside is that it was not cheap($50) but if you waited a while you could probably find it at a much better price.I have seen the classic rock era book by the same people for under $20 at various bookstores.
