As Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play U.S. Stadiums later this year, a number of new Bruce books will be hitting the shelves. August brings Frank Stefanko's "Days of Hope and Dreams: An Intimate Portrait of Bruce Springsteen," a high-quality book of photographs from 1978-1982. Stefanko shot the album covers for both Darkness on the Edge of Town and The River, and his book will contain many never-before-seen Springsteen photographs from the Darkness, River, and Nebraska photo sessions. Expect approximately 80 photos in all. We're pretty excited about this one, and it seems we're not alone: Springsteen himself has written a foreward for the book. Shortly after publication, an exhibition of Stefanko's work will run at Washington D.C.'s Govinda Gallery, from September 19 - October 18. Also watch for the Backstreets interview with Frank in Backstreets magazine, issue #77.
Also in August, HarperEntertainment will issue the first softcover edition of Springsteen's 1998 book, "Songs."
A new Dave Marsh title is scheduled for October, called "Bruce Springsteen: Two Hearts." Rather than being a third installment of his Springsteen biographies, "Two Hearts" primarily collects Marsh's two volumes on the Boss, "Born to Run" and "Glory Days," in a mammoth 688 page book. According to publisher Routledge, Marsh does bring the reader up to date with this new softcover edition: "Marsh has written a new chapter covering major developments in Springsteen's career to today, particularly focusing on his album The Rising and its impact on American culture."
Also in October, look for a book from DoubleTake Magazine's Robert Coles (a Pulitzer Prize winner and Harvard professor, introduced to many Springsteen fans at the February benefits in Somerville, MA) called "Bruce Springsteen's America: The People Listening, a Poet Singing."
