1989 New Kids on the Block by Anne M. Raso, Softcover. Measures 8" by 5". Good condition.
Published in 1989 at the height of their global phenomenon, this biography by Anne M. Raso offers an intimate look at the rise of the New Kids on the Block. As a quintessential piece of late-80s pop culture ephemera, the book serves as a time capsule for the "Step by Step" era, filled with the energy and fashion that defined a generation of music fans. Unlike modern digital archives, this softcover volume captures the raw, immediate excitement of the Boston quintet's journey from local favorites to international superstars, complete with the candid style of teen journalism from the period.
While most often associated with bright retro collections, this book holds a unique place in a curated pop-history display or a nostalgic 1980s-themed shelf. Its compact eight-inch size makes it a perfect addition to a gallery of music memorabilia or as a conversation piece on a mid-century modern coffee table. The book is in good vintage condition, showing the honest signs of being a prized possession of a fan decades ago. The binding remains tight and the internal pages are well-preserved, making it a must-have for any collector of boy band history or 20th-century pop culture literature.
