Special Publisher Signed Deluxe Edition: Face the Music by Paul Stanley

This entry features an extraordinary limited release from hard rock history: a deluxe Autographed First Edition of Face the Music: A Life Exposed by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon, co-founder, and frontman of KISS, Paul Stanley. Published in 2014 by HarperOne (an imprint of HarperCollins) in a special limited arrangement with Premiere Collectibles, this volume represents a premium, specially bound issue produced exclusively for autographed presentation.

Face the Music stands as a remarkably candid, deeply personal autobiography from "The Starchild." Beyond the pyrotechnics, iconic makeup, and arena-rock anthems, Stanley candidly reflects on his childhood struggles with microtia (a congenital birth defect affecting his right ear), his journey to self-acceptance, the complex interpersonal dynamics within KISS alongside Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss, and his ultimate fulfillment as a father, fine artist, and musical theatre star. Featuring praise from rock luminaries such as Jimmy Page, Sir Elton John, and Dave Grohl, the memoir provides an unfiltered look at one of the most enduring figures in modern music.

This deluxe presentation is bound in a crisp First Edition hardcover wrapped in its original, unclipped photographic dust jacket. Inset into the front endpaper is a metallic gold foil seal certifying the limitation, accompanied by a matching loose Certificate of Authenticity from Premiere Collectibles. Bound into the volume prior to the title page is a special preliminary leaf stating, "This autographed first edition of Face the Music... has been specially bound by Premiere Collectibles." On this dedicated page, Paul Stanley has signed his name in bold blue marker, complete with his signature star flourish beneath his surname. The set is further elevated by an exclusive black-and-red collector’s display case featuring foil-stamped lettering and red corner ribbons. Preserved in near fine to fine condition throughout, this authenticated release is a centerpiece acquisition for rock 'n' roll collectors, autographed memoir archivists, and KISS completists.
