The book is a rare item, with only a small number of first editions produced before the publisher went out of business. It has never been republished.
Included are biographies of each member of the band, complete discographies of their records, critical analysis of their music and videos. It looks at the ingredients that went into Duran Duran, their lifestyles and features many coloured pictures.
