"Metallica: The $24.95 Book" features an in-depth look at Metallica's cultural significance with chapters devoted to each member, each album, touring, fashion, books, film, influences, fandom, and more, exploring the band's ideologies along the way.

With over 125 million records sold worldwide, Metallica is the biggest metal band of all time. Four decades into their unparalleled career, Metallica is a massive cultural force who drastically changed the sound of popular music by creating their own rules. Yet for all their popularity, Metallica can seem impenetrable, raising more questions and inspiring more discourse as their mythos grows.

Metallica questions run deeper than what people find on the internet. Metallica questions deserve a book. "Metallica: The $24.95 Book" by dedicated fan and music journalist Ben Apatoff is that book, honoring Metallica’s history of fighting retail price gouging in the title. Apatoff provides an in-depth look at the band and their music that both die-hard fans and Metallica beginners can enjoy.

Ben Apatoff is a New York writer and educator whose work has appeared in Metal Injection, MetalSucks and the Morbid Anatomy Museum. He was born the summer Metallica released Kill ’Em All.
