Mellom 1985 og 2000 fikk hvert eneste album de ga ut Gull i enten Storbritannia, USA eller begge. I USA har de fått fire Platina-albumer, og de har solgt rundt 30 millioner albumer på verdensbasis. Den ikoniske statusen deres har ikke blitt svekket over årene, om noe har den blitt styrket takket være turneene deres. Innflytelsen deres kan sees i mange ulike sjangre, som emo, goth, industriell og indie rock. Denne boken er en encyklopedisk A-Z av The Cure som inneholder diverse trivia, sammendrag av hvert album og noen utvalgte sanger, detaljer om turneene og filmene deres, biografier på bandmedlemmene – både nåværende og tidligere – og essayer om bredere temaer som imaget, politikken og innflytelsene deres.
