Book Review- Deathrow

This book is awesome for fans of psychobilly. It's a great read all the way through as well as being easy to pick up, flip to a page and skim through it.
The book isn't a traditional book but a compilation of issues of a psychobilly fanzine. It was actually compiled by Alan Wilson of the Sharks, who ran the original fanzine, Deathrow.
The book has a little of everything- interviews with bands and band members, rumors, show and album reviews, amusing anecdotes and much more. There are many pictures, unfortunately they have the quality of a photocopied fanzine.
Read straight through some of the reviews get tedious after a while but it is an extremely enjoyable, interesting and informative book about psychobilly.
