<br/>
 
<br/>
 
<p style="font-family:caslon antique;"><font size="8">Paint My Name In Black And Gold</font></p><br/>
 
 
The book concentrates on the first five years of [[The Sisters of Mercy]] and will be published by [https://unbound.com/books/sistersofmercy/ Unbound]. It will also be available in ebook format.<br/>
 
 
All details about the pledge campaign, the book and some further information are available @The Heartland Forums

<span style="color:"black"><font size="3">'''''Quotes from the author'''''</font></span>
 
<blockquote>
 
'''''Paint My Name In Black And Gold''' is the story of the first five years of '''The Sisters of Mercy'''.''
 
 
''In that time The Sisters rose from being local heroes in Leeds, to one of the premier alternative bands in the UK and Europe, before blowing apart on the verge of major rock stardom. Their path was strewn with brilliant singles, exceptional EPs, extraordinary album tracks and legendary live shows...''
 
 
''To make the book happen, Sisters fans and the Sisters-curious need to pledge. There are different ways to do that. When the minimum amount of advance funding reaches the magic “100%”, the result will be a beautiful book charting the first five years of the band. So I really need your help to share The Sisters’ story. When you pledge, your name will be printed in the book and there are all sorts of rewards for you to enjoy too.''
 
 
''<u>If we don’t reach that level, the reality is that there will be no book.</u>'' </blockquote>
 
<br/>
 
So there's plenty reason '''you really shouldn't miss this wonderful project!!!''' <br/>
