REVIEWS FROM SISTERS FANS

Reader photo collage_02 wide.jpg

This is a damn good book… The writing and level of detail puts you right there in the room with Andrew.

Jaysen Michael

I would suggest this a must have for any fan of The Sisters of Mercy - it is one of the best music biographies I have read (and I've read a LOT of them). The book provides insight into the song writing, analysis of lyrics... story of the dynamic of the times, the record industry and most obviously the band.. It's what I want when I get a music biography.

John McDonagh

It’s definitely worth it for any Sisters fan, but I’ll go farther and say it’s one of the finest examples of the genre, period.

Sean Moore

An absolute treasure trove.

Tom Rodwell

 

Masterpiece!

Bernard Posman

So fucking good.

Chris Dillon

This book is so well written, it’s both detailed and thrilling, never boring. The writing style is addictive: limpid and literary. I try not to read too fast because I don’t want it to end… And the object as such is breathtaking. The quality of the paper and the photos, the typography, the cover. A great publisher would never have done better in my opinion.

Mathieu Barbe

Brilliant book and will be referred to for years to come.

Tim O’Gorman

I have a feeling this will be the Sisters bio that all others will be compared to for years. High quality is found throughout, from… the thick paper stock down to the clarity of picture reproduction and font. It feels substantial in hand as well as the content. Mr. Ristow went above and beyond with his research and in tracking down all of the amazing unseen photos… It definitely feels like an heirloom quality book.

D.C. Voss 

 

The front cover photo alone is worth the money.

Neil Piper

 

This item is pure class.

German George

 

What a great book.

Nikos Foskolos

 

Definitely turned my crap weekend around.

Bradley W Zimmerman

 

It’s a great book, I read it in a day. It’s a cliche but I genuinely “couldn’t put it down.” 

Steve Wilmers

I couldn't put it down until I got to the end.

Tom Riddler

 

Absolutely loved the book. I couldn’t put it down!

Aoife Le Roux

 

It’s great. Buy it because if you’re a fan you’ll love it… So much more than I expected. 

Fraser Neilson

 

The book is tremendously good. Worth every penny!

Christian Manfred

 

Buy it. It’s brilliant.

Bart Boussauw

 

Order! Order!

Michael Hiney

 

I am BLOWN AWAY.

Paulie Gladden

 

So great!!! 

Ollie Conraculix

 

It will be worth the wait, it’s a brilliant book!

You’ve made an old goth very happy.
