There weren't any reviews of it on Amazon and I haven't heard anyone talking about it on these boards.  It'd be good to know what others think before I go out and try and buy it.  Does it have photos, does it add any insight?
Thanks for any info in advance!
Sorry to repost, but I just saw a search and saw one of stennings excerpts on here, and could see that he took some of his quotes in that section from one or more articles I've read by other writers elsewhere? HUmmm.
 
It depends on your level of knowledge on Maiden. If you haven't read the official bio (Run To The Hills, 3rd Edition), it is worth getting first. Some intresting facts from an unbiased perspective, some exclusive interviews (those with Roy Z and Derek Riggs stand out) but also some facts the writer got wrong. Overall, it is a pleasant read which will shed some new light on Maiden but it surely doesn't rediscover the wheel. Once you get past the mandatory babble about Harris' childhood / East End / West Ham stories it is quite enjoyable.
