Anyone else out there wish Maiden would release an oversized book containing
all Derek Riggs artwork? I`d love to see this,, including all the old rare
pictures of xmas cards etc. I know most are easily found on the net but it
would be nice to have them all in ne book. Some of these pictures are
amazing!!

Ok try this http://www.ironmaidenbooks.com/gallery_imc.html
it s the Iron Maiden Companion I ordered it last week and I will give
you more details as soon as I recieve it

that s the full description of the book
************************************************************************
"IRON MAIDEN COMPANION

by Marco Gamba & Nicola Visintini

is The ultimate Guide for the Iron Maiden fans and collectors. Featuring
400 full colour pages and 2045 (two thousands!!!) full colour photos.
The monumental full colour artwork is created by Mauro Colombi and
enriched by illustration made by Herve' Monjeaud, GertJan Vorst, Marco
Gamba and all of the Iron Maiden graphics by master artist Derek Riggs.
Cover illustration is an exclusive masterpiece by the renewed French
artist Herve' Monjeaud. Just before announcing you all the matters of
the book, I would like to highlight that you will also find several
precious exclusive interviews to Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave
Murray, Janick Gers, Adrian Smith and Blaze Bayley and live unreleased
shots by Italian photographer Henry Ruggeri.
The book is divided into four parts and 22 sections. Part One features
the detailed list and description of all of the Albums (Section 1) and
Singles (Section 2) released by Iron Maiden 1979 to date. This
unbelievable amount of data includes info about format, country,
catalogue number and release year, plus details about folding, cover
features, labels and packaging. Just figure that these 2 sections
feature 540 full colour images.

Just to note with this, since there will average over 5 pictures per
page the pictures are not going to be large. I believe Ian(I do to by
the way) was wanting a book with full page images of each illustration
instead of a bunch of small illustrations. The Iron Maiden Companion
certainly sounds nice for other reasons than getting Derek Riggs
illustrations. By the way I suspect this is not in English.
