Schafferhad this to say, "I wanted to put something together that would be a truly unique experience not only for the fans of my bands, but for newcomers as well."
The book is described as "a collection of lyrics, interviews and pages of artwork that Schaffer's work has inspired throughout the years. The book is an anthology of lyrics from Schaffer that span his 35 years in making music in various projects including Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards, Sons of Liberty and Purgatory.
