If you are unfamiliar with Johnny Cash's American Recordings I highly suggest you check them out. Here are a few of my favorites from the series. His voice in these recordings isn't as powerful as it once was (due to his medical condition) but the intensity is the same as it ever ways.
There is an impressive layout in New Jersey as well. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3382848/Inside-world-s-largest-model-railroad-featuring-hundreds-trains-travel-eight-miles-track.html
Yea I pounced on it when it first came out. Unfortunately a lot of these books go that route, the specialty book re-sellers stockpile copies and as soon as they go out of print they jack-up the price.
