Even though the exact date has not been set yet, it is a well-known fact now that in November 2012, Simple Plan are planning to release “the book” – a project that’s been promised to the SP fans for the past couple years. And since the book is coming out in only two months, let’s sum up what we know about it so far!
The book (formerly known as the “photobook”) will be documenting the complete history of Simple Plan. It will basically look like a huge scrapbook, including articles about the band written by Kathleen Lavoie, handwritten letters, plane tickets, backstage passes and most importantly – photos. Ever since the band started touring, they’ve been keeping more than 30 000 pictures, taken by Patrick, Sim, Chady and Mark Staubach, so that they’d have enough to choose from for this very special project. In total, the book should be consisted of about 315 pages.
Right now, the guys are still working on the finishing touches of the book. Last night, Chuck tweeted that him and Fred Jerome (Simple Plan’s graphic designer) were working on the book even past midnight. Sim has also already seen a little sneak peak of the book, saying it’s “really freaking cool!!!”.
So, are you, too, already looking forward to the book? What do you think it should be called?
Currently Simple Plan have a huge amount of projects lined up for the end of the year – the main reason behind them is the celebration of the 10th anniversary since the release of the band’s first album – “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls” which came out in 2002. These projects include a book (that is to come out in November), a DVD and an EP with unreleased tracks. But that won’t be all!
It’s been known for a couple of months now that Simple Plan will be releasing a book, a DVD and an EP by the end of this year. Let’s concentrate on the EP for a while now. So far we know that it should include about 6 or 7 songs that Simple Plan wrote for the 4th record (Get Your Heart On!) but they didn’t make it to the final cut. 
A few hours before hitting the stage in Sydney, Australia, tonight, Jeff, David and Pierre did an interview with Hot30 Countdown and in the interview they’ve said that they are still in the process of making the new DVD, still filming everywhere they go and confirmed that they will be filming the DVD also in Australia.
