This is a history of the Backstreet Boys from their beginning to how the band split and everything that the members did after. It's interspersed with fan stories, which is a nice touch. There is also a lovely dedication to the memory of Nick Carter's brother, who passed away last year. Overall, its a great collection of photos, stories and anecdotes perfect for any fan of the Backstreet Boys.

This book is the dream of every backstreet boys obsessed 90s girl out there. Being a fan for over 20yrs I really cant wait to get my hands on this collectable.

Many thanks to the publisher for the copy!

I mean, do I even have to rate this? If you love the Backstreet Boys, you will love this. The nostalgia is real.

Every Backstreet Boys fan dream! A look back at the biggest selling boy band over the last 30 years in pictures and in details starting from how the group got together to how they made it through the pandemic and getting back to performing together again once life started to get back to normal. Includes lots of behind the scenes stuff and quotes from the guys themselves.
As a fan from the beginning, it was fun to look back at some of their hits and how they came to be and even some of their styles!
With a fun foreword from Sporty Spice, this is a fun, must have for any BSB fan. Would make a great gift.
Thanks to Epic Ink, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review

My little sister was a HUGE Backstreet Boys (BSB) fan, so naturally I am quite familiar with the group and their music. When the BSB tour came to our area I went to it with my sister and her friends and I have never been to a louder concert in all of my years of concert going. It wasn't the music. It was the pitch of the screams from the fans that was so loud. It's hard to believe the BSB could be celebrating a 30th anniversary. Time flies. This book is written by two of their fans and it is a fantastic compilation of group history, the evolution of their music, tours and more. Sprinkled throughout the book are lifelong fan bios along with pictures of them taken with the group. The book is filled with pictures and information, including a very helpful index. I definitely learned new things and reading the book had me creating a BSB playlist in iTunes to listen to while I read through the book. I highly recommend this book as a great gift to any BSB fan in your family or friends group. They will love it!

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer!, Epic Ink for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely LOVE Backstreet Boys. They were my childhood favorite! My very first concert was a Backstreet concert. This book was like walking down memory lane. Looking through the book made me feel so happy, like for those moments I was back in my bedroom as a tween/teen obsessing over them and the music.

I loved reading the stories of other fans and Sporty Spice intro was amazing as well cuz Girl Power for life! I really liked learning about each member and their life outside of the group.

My favorite part might have been the timeline in the end it was cool to see all the accomplishments laid out. Definitely a must have in your collection if you were a fanatic!

If you love the Backstreet Boys you will love this! its a great read just to catch up and remember why you love this group in the first place! I love me some A.J. He was always my favorite!

It's an absolute gen for any 90's girl, nice balance of text and photography. A great coffee table book to dip in and out of. Really enjoyed.

This book was a fun way to look back at The Backstreet Boys 30 year career. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years! I remember my best friend in eighth grade was in Bop magazine because every inch of her bedroom walls were covered in pictures of the band. I think super fans of BSB will love this book. It’s fun to see the contributions of fans.

I have been a fan for 26 years. I was 14 when Backstreet Boys came into my life. Forever grateful!!! They saved my life, literally. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their music.

I know it sounds cliche but is true, I was so suicidal throughout my teens due to my home situation and bullying in school that their music got me through it. Bless the classmate that introduced them to me then.

The band turns 30 on April 20th 2023 as they formed in 1993. They have given me many of my friends and many joyful moments. I have so many stories to tell. I have been to every tour except for one that didn't make it here in Europe (and I was also too young to travel for it). Even travelled to Vegas for their residency!! And of course, I still buy their music.

Backstreet Boys' 30th-anniversary celebration is written by fans and that's how a book about a band should be done! And not by random people that know nothing about it, you don't know how cross I get when someone that has zero knowledge about a band decides to write a book with stuff found online that they don't bother to check whether is true or not.

For fans of the group, there might be some bits that are new information and everything else is things we know already. Very well done!! Thank you Karah and Emilia for putting this together for us and anyone who wants to know the boys' story. Great job!!

Are you telling me that it's been 30 year? Oh god.

Now this book is a fangirls dream. It was very fun going through memory lane while reading the history of one of the best boybands ever.

Thank you so much NetGalley for the arc of this book.

Pros: As someone who has been a Backstreet Boys fan for 25 years and has seen them in concert at least 7 times, this book was a fun trip down memory lane. It is a lovely tribute by devoted fans and provides a comprehensive history of the BSB. I had fun listening to some of my favorite BSB songs while reading. I also loved the photos throughout--I forgot about some of the hairstyles and clothing choices! My favorite part of the book was the discography at the end with data on each album and fun facts--that's where I learned the most new information!

Cons: I found myself skipping the fan tributes throughout.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer!, Epic Ink for the opportunity to read this book.

It’s clear that these fans love and admire this group for more than just their music; they appreciate them for being real people who have inspired joy and hope in people's lives all over the world.

This book is a beautiful testament to how far these five men have come since they first got together thirty years ago; it celebrates not only their accomplishments but also speaks volumes about their impact on pop culture throughout time. It is definitely an essential addition to any Backstreet Boy fan’s collection!

I've been a fan of the Backstreet Boys from the beginning so there was no doubt that I would enjoy this book. I absolutely loved it. It was so nice to go back and read about the bands history and see all the pictures. It is perfect for any Backstreet Boys fan. I can't wait to get my hands on the finished copy.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Becker & Mayer! for the ARC in exchange for my honest review

This was a nice trip down memory lane to my late teens. BSB was my first concert, so it was cool seeing pictures and reading stories from the beginning. I liked the little fan snippets and their stories.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

I have been a fan of the Backstreet Boys since the beginning and was so excited to see this book!! It has some amazing photos and is packed full of memories!! This is a Backstreet fans dream book!!!

Loved this book! Would be a great read for traveling on a plane as it holds your attention and gives great history of the band. Perfect amount of pictures as well as fan pages. Would highly recommend.

I loved this book! I have been a fan of the Backstreet Boys since 1998 and have seen them in concert 10 times! This book had great background and a chronological look at the band's success. I appreciated the insight into various solo projects the boys have done, as well as updates on their family lives. This is a must have for any BSB Fan!!

It can't be. Where have these 30 years gone by? I remember laying on the floor with my best friend, listening to the Get Down single album and trying to write down the lyrics even though I barely knew 4 words of English. I remember getting BSB's second album on my birthday, along with the boombox I would use to listen to it on repeat for days on end. I remember seeing them in concert (my first one, on a school night), 7th row from the stage, with my dad and my 2 little sisters (one of them sound asleep on the seat most of the show, with people around us staring in disbelief), as a reward for making good grades. And going back a few years later, with my mom and sisters, this time in the second to last row. I was (and still am) a die hard fan. So when I saw this pop up on NetGalley, I had to have it. And I flew through it in a couple of hours, going down memory lane and feeling like a preteen again. Add to that a buttload of pics and a foreword from Sporty Spice (genius!), and that rounds up to the perfect coffee table book for the fans.
I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is a Backstreet Boys fan's dream!!!
It has some amazing photography and clippings - but not just that, it is packed full of info! About everything and everything!
It's not just pictures (like a lot of books like this) but has so much text too!

As a Backstreet Boys fan, I loved this!!
