Heya guys.....the book is as Jasonic said, being packaged in a special bag along with the cd, a poster and some other collectibles thrown in there. The book is an actual full-sized book, sized approx. 6 inches by 9 inches, and its got full color pages and photographs as well, and I think it's about 80 pages.
Obviously this is something that was created for the "diehard" fans really. I don't know that it'd hold much interest for people who aren't familiar with our songs and history. Paul goes into pretty good detail throughout the book as to what the lyrics are truly about and what was going on with the band and everything during those times. Alot of people have inquired over the years as to what the lyrics are about and the inspiration behind them, and we've also had alot of people totally misunderstand the lyrics as well, so Paul had the opportunity to do this book and did it. If it's not someone's cup of tea or they think its a dumb idea and want to take shots at us, that's fine, obviously it's not meant for them then, not a problem. But the interest was there from quite a few people, so we thought it was a worthwhile project to pursue.
As for pre-ordering the cd by itself, I believe that will be happening quite soon. Just check with The End Records site and you should be able to find out something there soon.
