1997 Billboard Music Yearbook by Joel Whitburn
 

Released in mid-1998, this monster 244-page book recaps all the hit albums and singles of 1997. There is a section in this book that talks about the "Hanson Phenomenon" (and MMMBop's #1 success, I'm sure), but I don't know how many pages it takes up, or where it is in the book. This book is pretty expensive, it retails for $35.

Got Issues Much? Celebrities Share Their Traumas and Triumphs by Randi Reisfeld and Marie Morreale

Published in 1999, this rather interesting book is about traumatic issues that celebrities have faced on the road to, or because of, stardom. The book is divided into several sections, including family issues, relationship issues, body and self image issues, and more. Hanson is the very first entry in the section, "Issues of Disappointment and Defeat." In it, the author discusses Hanson's prefame struggle to get recognized by a major label. It doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know, but it's still a good read.

Does this pinup look familiar? It originated from this book.

The Ultimate Boy Band Book by Frederick Levy

I was surprised to find Hanson in this book, considering it was published in 2000. It's actually a decent write-up with some interesting information that *I* never knew before, like this quote: "Since we first put Hanson on a cover several months back [in 1997], our circulation increased 50 percent," said Carri Yasudada, managing editor of Bop and BB magazines. Pretty cool - the book goes into detail up through This Time Around's release, and a discography at the end of the section includes the album and single This Time Around.

Superstars: A Tribute to Heros Big and Small by Ken Jenkins
 

Superstars was released in 2001. It looks like it is a collection of fan's thoughts, memories, etc., of various celebrities, including Hanson. I don't have this book myself, so I can't say for certain what "Hanson memories" are in here...
