Dubbed the 'man in black', guitarist Ritchie Blackmore found fame with 1970s rock giants Deep Purple. He then walked away from them to create Rainbow, only to abandon them and form another band in 1997 - Blackmore's Night. This book talks about his moodiness, his three marriages, the police chases and his passion for football.Black Knight has been written and researched by Jerry Bloom, a fan who first met Ritchie more than twenty years ago and has followed his varied career ever since. The result is a biography rich in detail and full of surprising insights.

Deep Purple MKII reformed in 1992 but only managed 37 gigs. Along with narrative on each gig, the book is crammed full of never before seen photos of the band on stage, in hotels, on aeroplanes and relaxing as the tour wound its way across Europe culminating in Blackmore's last show with the band in Finland on 17th November 1993.

For more than ten years the Ritchie Blackmore magazine More Black than Purple has featured many interviews within its pages. First published in 2007, and now back in print, The More Black than Purple Interviews collects 12 of the best and most rivetting of these in to one book, featuring Don Airey, Ritchie Blackmore, Graham Bonnet, Tony Carey, Mark Clarke, Bob Daisley, Glenn Hughes, John McCoy, Steve Morse & Cozy Powell. Edited and compiled by More Black than Purple editor Jerry Bloom, some of the interviews are bolstered with previously unpublished sections and 3 of the interviews are previously unpublished in their entirety. Each interview includes background information & amusing tales surrounding the stories behind them and the book is complimented with a selection of over 30 b/w photos, including many never before published. As Record Collector said when this was first published, "the three Blackmore interviews are the centrepiece, and surprisingly candid they are too. Other highlights include encounters with an otherworldly Glenn Hughes and the mischievous Cozy Powell. The charm of the book is that, in the informal world of the fanzine, the stars are often more forthcoming - and more three dimensional - than they might be in the contrived setting of a press conference. This, along with a witty, informative commentary, makes the collection a very nice piece of work indeed."
