    Martin Popoff has a new book out. If that hasn't got your putting on your coat and heading out to your nearest bookstore, you clearly don't know Martin's work. But, if you don't, the new book is about Kiss in 1976- an important year in the band's history. "Kiss 76" is available right now from Motor Books.

    The book isn't your typical "coffee table" book. It's a feast for your senses. Martin takes readers on a journey through time to track not only the band during the iconic year, but also a whole lot of everything else that made 50 years ago one for the ages.

    Our chat with Martin is always filled with interesting information for diehard and casual music fans alike. It's like being seated at a great dinner party.

    You may ask, "Does the world really need another KISS book?" The answer is unequivocally, "Yes, it needed this one."

    With photos rarely seen anywhere else and chock full of great facts, you won't be disappointed. Luke and Heidi have been talking about it for weeks.

    To get a copy for yourself, visit your local bookstore or order one wherever you buy your books.
