It is a book fully dedicated to the album Back In Black, and it was written by Philippe Lageat, the editor-in-chief of Rock Hard France, Vanessa Girth, the head of all things visual of said magazine and Baptiste Brelet, another AC/DC fan and writer. The three have previously collaborated on two massive volumes on AC/DC's concerts in France and also one about Hellfest festival. Those are real quality books!
Bruce wrote the preface.

Some curious bits from this interview:
Bruce didn't feel the need to re-produce the stuff he's done in the past with the new album. And TCW is a special album anyway. His goal with his solo albums is to make the songs different (! without trying too hard), authentic (with his voice), and the storytelling should be represented with the music. It's a solo album, but it's a band to him. He works pretty quickly in the studio for the vocals and enjoys comping up with ideas and stories for the songs.
He said they made TOS knowing that they couldn't do any kind of promotion for it. This album is a like a continuation of TCW and everything for him, and was like a mandatory album to make/release.
He thinks TCW is one of the most influential albums of its decade.

Uhhh, that´s some tripping ego!

Evening The Odds.
All depends on the 'influential' definition. But yeah, I would say that TCW was one of the best heavy metal albums of that decade.

It is a masterpiece, but I am not sure it has been that influential.

He could name the tour The Ego has Landed and create a lightning rig in the shape of him, Bruce himself.
Credit goes to Saxon for the original concept.

This is golden! Sadly he won´t ever do it, because it´d be expensive.

It´s a very good album indeed. But That decade had it´s most influential records made in the USA for sure.
I´m pretty much convinced that very few people, if any, besides the IM fans even know about the album. Which is indeed a shame!

Agreed. I think there's a large proportion of Maiden fans who've never even heard it, never mind the general public.
Also, something being influential doesn't necessarily mean good either. A lot of the most influential albums of the 90s were shite albums influencing shite people to form shite bands.

I am pretty sure that Edguy's Mandrake is heavily influenced by The Chemical Wedding. So, we already have one.

BRUCE DICKINSON Says Concert 'Ticket Prices Have Gone Through The Roof': 'I've Got No Interest In Paying $1,200 To See U2'
In a new interview with Mexico's ATMósferas Magazine, IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson discussed the changes in the music industry over the last four decades. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "The music industry has done two things. On the one hand, if you're an artist, it's...

Most likely Berlin and Sofia. Haven't gotten either ticket yet, though.
