Thousands of artifacts, photos, press releases, gig posters, artwork, fan culture ephemera and meticulous details on each of the iconic synth-pop band's releases from 1981 to 2017 add up to more than just some general reward--it's a stylish, colorful compendium that looks as great as it reads. It's a book of faith and devotion, and a must-have for any Mode fan.

The book's honesty and meticulousness is invaluable. The 420-page tome scrupulously catalogs the band's history from its earliest days, and is essentially the longest love letter Depeche Mode has ever received...The book is a no-brainer for any Depeche Mode fan.
