Cover of the book (front)

Cover of the book (back)

This 72-page book about The Sisters of Mercy is

an Italian fan-edition accompanied by either

a 7" vinyl bootleg or a 3" CD-single.

The book itsef includes a history of the band,

a gigography, a discography and most of the

lyrics up to 1987.

The lyrics are given in English and Italian

language. The translations of the lyrics are,

however, partly - hilarious ...

Still, there are plenty more entertaining

features to this book.
