For Factory devotees this represents possibly the most complete general Factory history though at times the writing style and the numerous typos and mis-spellings grate; from the back cover: "Factory Records was the most successful independent record company to come out of Manchester - and Factory's reputation and fortune were founded on two bands: Joy Division and New Order."; later reissued with a different sub-title and a different cover as 'From Joy Division to New Order: The true story of Anthony H. Wilson and Factory Records'; Virgin Books; ISBN: 0753506386
