If you are wondering how to get a copy of Martin Popoff’s The Collector’s Guide To Heavy Metal: Volume 4: The ‘00s, wonder no more. A bunch of copies of this out-of-print reference necessity have been recovered.

Popoff explains: “Long story how I got these, but if you know the history, this book got rare and expensive because it went out of print immediately when the print shop burnt down, and I’ve had to tell people for months I didn’t
have one for them.

“Now I do – 65 copies and that’s it. They cost a bit more, but yeah, it cost me a lot to get this stash.”

The Collector’s Guide To Heavy Metal: Volume 4: The ’00s is part of a celebrated franchise of album review books from Martin Popoff. Martin’s previous volumes reconstructed the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, with each book being a hot seller. But there’s a twist to this particular book: it is a co-write between Popoff (author of 30 books on the genre), and David Perri, journalist for Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. Making full use of their respective areas of expertise, Popoff and Perri attack the albums each knows best, collectively amassing approximately 3400 headbanging, no punches-pulled rants, with band’s catalogues represented alphabetically then chronologically, the writer of each review identified, and a grade out of ten confidently offered. A closing appendix records each writer’s Top 100 heavy metal albums of the decade, sure to provide ammunition for a continued war of words about this controversial series.

Added bonus: All books will be signed by the author.
