NOTHING TO LOSE: THE MAKING OF KISS (1972-1975)
SHARP, KEN
Nothin’ to Lose: the Making of KISS (1972-1975) chronicles for the first time the crucial formative years of
the legendary rock band KISS, culminating with the groundbreaking success of their classic 1975
album Alive! and the smash single “Rock and Roll All Nite,” a song that nearly four decades later remains
one of the band’s most enduring anthems. Drawing on more than 200 interviews, the book offers a
captivating and intimate fly-on-the-wall account of their launch, charting the struggles and ultimate
victories that led them to the threshold of superstardom. Constructed as an oral history, the book includes
original interviews with Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter, as well as producers, engineers, management, record
company personnel, roadies, club owners, booking agents, concert promoters, costume, stage and art
designers, rock photographers, publicists, and key music journalists.

NUMBER FOUR BOBBY ORR
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
Starting with his jump from the Oshawa Generals to the NHL's Boston Bruins, Sports Illustrated began indepth
coverage of the career of Bobby Orr, a player who remains, over thirty years after his retirement,
one of the greatest hockey players of all time. Orr completely changed the way hockey was played, taking
it from a game of grinding defence to a rushing, high-scoring affair. Along the way, Orr set scoring
records, won individual awards, and led his Bruins to two Stanley Cups before a bad knee began costing
him games. He tried two major comebacks in the late seventies, showing a perseverance and dedication
unmatched in the game, but ultimately was forced into an early retirement at the age of thirty.
