New BSB Book Coming Out
BACKSTREET BOYS: The Official Book is the official book, from our perspective with our input,' says BACKSTREET BOYS member AJ McLean. 'I think it is high time that we give back to our fans what they honestly deserve -- which is to be closer to us and to be a part of our lives as much as we are a part of theirs.'
Random House Children's Books' Delacorte Press imprint has acquired world rights to publish the first and only book authorized by the BACKSTREET BOYS, presently recognized as the biggest pop group in the world. Entitled, BACKSTREET BOYS: The Official Book, the 128-page hardcover is a photographic scrapbook showcasing the work of Andre Csillag, the band's official photographer, who has had unlimited access to the group since 1995. It is illustrated with nearly 300 exclusive, full-color photographs, which are being made available to the public for the first time in this book. BACKSTREET BOYS, which carries a suggested retail price of $14.95, is scheduled to go on sale nationwide on Tuesday, July 5, 2000. Delacorte Press is planning a first printing of 500,000 copies to meet the demand of the band's millions of eager fans.
"Because the members of BACKSTREET BOYS are ordinarily extremely private people, I am quite pleased to be able to open up this photo album and offer the fans a glimpse into this private world," says photographer Andre Csillag. Andre and BACKSTREET BOYS created this book as a special thank you to their millions of fans. Each photograph in the book features a caption written by one of the BACKSTREET BOYS -- Howie, AJ, Kevin, Brian or Nick. Together the exclusive photographs and captions provide an all-new, intimate look at this pop band sensation.
"We are thrilled to be giving BACKSTREET BOYS fans an intimate look at their favorite group, from the band members themselves," commented Horowitz. "This book is certain to become a collector's item among the group's MANY DEVOTED FANS, because there's nothing else like it."
