Rufus Publications<\/strong> has announced the second book in a new series of black-and-white titles called “Portraits”<\/strong>. The second book features KISS<\/strong> on their amazing rise during the Seventies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Portraits Of Kiss”<\/strong> takes us on an incredible, photographic journey from the band’s first proper tour in 1974 up until the “Unmasked”<\/strong> tour finishing in 1980. The book draws on a huge range of images from legendary photographers, including Fin Costello<\/strong>, Ross Halfin<\/strong>, Chris Walter<\/strong>, Michael Putland<\/strong> and Adrian Boot<\/strong>. Each image has been specially treated and prepared for the black and white printing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is 230mm square, casebound, 240 pages, printed on luxury 170gsm matt coated paper. The book comes with a fold-out poster and is presented in a black slipcase with a gold foil logo. The main edition comes in 666 numbered copies. In addition to this a much larger, ultra-limited leather and metal edition measuring 375mm square and presented in recycled leather and a hand welded aluminum metal slipcase is also being prepared in a run length of just 50 numbered copies. This will sell for \u00a3500 and comes with a copy of the standard edition plus a limited-edition Ross Halfin<\/strong> print. Kerrang!<\/strong>‘s founding editor and Sounds<\/strong> writer Geoff Barton<\/strong> has written the books accompanying text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new “Portraits”<\/strong> series will comprise beautiful 230mm square books, each presented in a slipcase, and will feature a range of artistes. Each title will be created using the work of a main photographer associated with the artiste, plus supplementary imagery to complement the main images. The books are printed and bound in the U.K. and presented in a luxury, foiled slipcase. The books are not signed but will be numbered and will come with an exclusive poster or print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Portraits”<\/strong> will grow into a series of limited-edition books released across the year and will be produced in a limited, worldwide run of 666 numbered unofficial books. They will sell from \u00a355 plus shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
