This book is my third and last installment of this accursed reviews odyssey,
this edition comprising 3,073 reviews, spanning 518 pages, and about half a
million words.
Only albums officially issued in the years 1990 to 1999 were eligible for
review. Wholesale rewriting and re-evaluation of reviews that were in the
1997 sourcebook, The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal, were undertaken, with
approximately half the reviews being all new, many to complete catalogues,
many more, reviews of ultra-rarities.
The book is the follow-up to Volume 1 - The Seventies, which was 1162
reviews over 344 pages, and Volume 2 - The Eighties which was 2528 reviews
over 428 pages. For the record, that's 6763 reviews for the 1290 page three
book series. I'm done, I've had it, I'm getting too old for this! : )
Seriously, it was the most work I ever had to do on a book. No pictures this
time, and quite tiny type. Really, I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually
as much content as the '97 book, just with the one decade. It's quite
stuffed full o' words. I included two appendices - my personal Top 100 of
the decade, and the Top 100 of the decade calculated from the poll used in
my The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time.
Prices including shipping cost (higher than usual due to the book's weight
and changes in Can./US exchange rate - sorry! Nothing I can do about it.)
