The United States is experiencing a new British Invasion-One Direction, the British boy band that has captured the hearts and attention of young Americans in a way that can only be compared to the Beatles.

The book provides fans with the answers to questions such as What was the motivation for each of Zayn’s four tattoos? What vegetable did the guys receive in the mail from an adoring fan? and What’s next for One Direction? Including nearly 100 full-color photographs, it’s the inside source for all self-proclaimed "Directioners."
