THE USED’s Bert McCracken Set to Publish ‘In Love and Death: The Lost Notebook’

The Used vocalist Bert McCracken is set to release a deeply personal book inspired by the band’s platinum-certified sophomore album In Love and Death. Titled In Love and Death: The Lost Notebook, the book will be published by Rare Bird Books on November 4th.

The book features handwritten lyrics, poems, sketches, and personal reflections originally penned in a long-lost notebook McCracken kept during the album’s creation. Rediscovering the notebook recently, McCracken reflected:

“This notebook is a time capsule. It’s a snapshot of who I was, what I went through, and how those emotions turned into the music we made. Getting it back brought a rush of memories—pain, joy, chaos, and everything in between.”

He added:

“I never thought I’d publish a book—unless it was weird, postmodern fiction. But when I found this notebook again, I knew I had to share it. I was fearless then. And there’s magic in what survived.”

Pre-orders are available now at rarebirdlit.com.

Additionally, fans can look forward to a graphic novel tied to the music video for the In Love and Death single “All That I’ve Got”, set for release this September.
