BraveWords.com’s Martin Popoff has been circulating the following email to his base, having received on May 27, ample stock of his second book on BLACK SABBATH FAQ: All That’s Left To Know On The First Name In Metal:

"First thing, if you have my other Sabbath book, there is no overlap in interview footage or pretty much anything here! That was the challenge to myself – if I was going to write a second Sabbath book, I wanted folks who had the first one to get excellent value for the money, so yeah – all the interviews etc. are BRAND NEW, with no use of my past archive. This includes the proceeds of the last three or four chats I ever had with our dear Ronnie.

OK, what the heck is this thing? Well, it’s 400 pages stuffed with arcane Sabbath knowledge, mostly, along with a bunch of memorabilia stuff, i.e. ads, backstage passes, ticket stubs, photography – again, there might be a handful of things also in Doom Let Loose but 90% is all new.

Best way to describe it is to show you the chapters. Now, this might be before one or two got moved around plus maybe some re-titling, but it is essentially, give or take a swap:
