The next officially sanctioned KISS book has a publication date -- and it won't cost over a thousand dollars like their last one, Monster.

This one, Nothin' to Lose: The Making of Kiss (1972-1975), was written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, along with music journalist Ken Sharp. At 554 pages, it chronicles the formative years of the band up until the release of Alive. It also includes interviews with original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, and with producers, engineers, management, members of their staff and fellow artists -- such as Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, members of Aerosmith, Rush, Black Sabbath, Styx and many others.

Nothin' to Lose will be out on September 10th.
