Denim and Leather captures a moment in time and a genre of music that had a brief moment in the sun. The book is an honest portrayal, directly from the horses mouth. The interesting thing is that it was people trying to discover their own identities, and the book sums it up by the people who experienced it.Phil Collen, Def Leppard
