Publishers Weekly, 6/27 [Tony Iommi is] "the undisputed originator of heavy metal."

This is the whole package: Iommi is candid, engaging and celebrated and that's exactly the right combo for this sort of book. Though it's Iommi's autobiography, this is also the story of Black Sabbath, one of the most celebrated and seminal rock outfits of all time. And on this journey we take with him we discover that our wildest imaginings about sixties and seventies rock n' roller behavior were only scratching the service...Iommi is a likable correspondent and you don't mind spending time in his presence for the duration of the book. If you only buy one rock biography this season, for so many reasons, it should be this one." Gibson.com, 11/11/11 "[A] must-read...It contains some near-unbelievable stories: drugs, the Mafia, knife fights, Iommi setting fire to Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, killing Virgin mogul Richard Branson's prize carp fish with Sabbath pyrotechnics, that Spinal Tap -inspiring Stonehenge stage set, even auditioning Michael Bolton as Black Sabbath singer (true!)...and, of course, all the guaranteed craziness you'd expect from a band involving Ozzy Osbourne."

Synopsis
Iron Man chronicles the story of both pioneering guitarist Tony Iommi and legendary band Black Sabbath, dubbed "The Beatles of heavy metal" by Rolling Stone . Iron Man reveals the man behind the icon yet still captures Iommi's humor, intelligence, and warmth. He speaks honestly and unflinchingly about his rough-and-tumble childhood, the accident that almost ended his career, his failed marriages, personal tragedies, battles with addiction, band mates, famous friends, newfound daughter, and the ups and downs of his life as an artist. Everything associated with hard rock happened to Black Sabbath first: the drugs, the debauchery, the drinking, the dungeons, the pressure, the pain, the conquests, the company men, the contracts, the combustible drummer, the critics, the comebacks, the singers, the Stonehenge set, the music, the money, the madness, the metal., The memoir of one of the great musicians of our time, Tony Iommi--Grammy-winning revolutionary guitarist, cofounding member of Black Sabbath, and architect of heavy metal

    Stellar Seller—Impeccable Signed Singer First Edition! My purchase of the Franklin Library signed first edition of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s The Penitent from BCDLW Finds was pure satisfaction. Their listing was honest and precise, labeling the book “FINE” — and it delivered on that promise tenfold. Unboxing revealed a masterpiece: supple leather, bright gilded edges, crisp pages, and Singer’s signature standing out clearly.Reliable, transparent, and passionate about preserving rare books.
