I have the book, and it is excellent.  Like Albert said, probably not
great literature, but a good read, and full of interesting stuff.
Martin Popoff used to be on BOC-L, and is good guy (even if he spelled
my name wrong in the credits).  I also have his "Heavy Metal Collector's
Guide", which is interesting - Martin and I are about the same age, so I
think our perspectives of many bands and albums (at least in terms of
the times in our lives when we may have listened to them) are similar.
His BOC book has been very well-researched, drawing some on the FAQ
(with my blessing), and discussion from the band, as well as Bolle
Gregmar, head of the fanclub and probably the most knowledgeable
authority on the band (and an overall good guy, although his Internet
posting style can sometimes be off-putting - and he would have it no
other way).

I may have a copy somewhere - fellow fan "Mistress Sadie" sent me a
picture of herself and a few other BOC fans standing in front of it
about 3 or so years ago.
