Here is a list of all books, which have been published all over the world. Books do not have to be authorized to get published. Most books are not authorized by the band, but some were done with the support and agreement by Kiss. The books are listed below in order by release-date. Most, but not all books came with an ISBN-code. Books without that code were usually only distributed direct or by mail order only.
This list includes books only (usually sold in book stores). No magazines (sold at newsstands)!
Values are stated from min - average - max.
