Release Date: November 2008
113 pages

Take The Walk is Hanson's personal account of taking action to fight poverty and AIDS in Africa. The book chronicles their trips to Africa in 2006-2007, the friends they made along the way, the songs that they were inspired to write, and their involvement with TOMS Shoes and the creation of the TAKE THE WALK campaign.

The book is a large, softcover book with beautiful, glossy color pages. On the back cover and the spine of the book, there is a new Hanson logo called "3CG BOOKS". Very cool!

The book also comes with a Take The Walk EP (more information about the EP can be found here) and most editions came with a free autographed "cover"/flat (not pictured).

click to view a larger image click to view a larger image Dancin' With Hanson by Ravi
Release Date: April 1999
96 pages

One of the most talked about books of 1999 was this one - Dancin' with Hanson, written by Hanson's former back-up guitarist, Ravi Hutheesing. While the book certainly goes into more detail about Hanson from Ravi's perspective than anyone ever anticipated, it is thought that Ravi really wrote this book only to 'cash in' on his time with Hanson.
Nevertheless, it is an interesting, and informative/personal, read.
