Real Life : Real Spice: The Official Story by the Spice Girls

The Spice Girls are one of the most successful pop bands in history. Their debut album, "Spice," has gone platinum six times. Their first book, Girl Power, was an international blockbuster, selling more than a million copies. Following a spectacular 1997, the group kicked off 1998 with hits at the box office and on the pop charts and airwaves. Their first feature film, "Spice World," made a strong US debut, earning $11.3 million in its first five days. Meanwhile, their "Spiceworld" album went double platinum as they scored a major triple win at the American Music awards. Coming off a blitz of nationally televised appearances, including David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey, The Spice Girls return to America in June for their 1998 World Tour. Now Real Life: Real Spice-the first and only official biography of the Spice Girls-goes back to the beginning of this pop phenomena. Together with their family and friends, Emma, Geri, Victoria and the two Melanies talk about their early lives, how they got together, and how it felt when superstardom arrived. Ten chapters chart the Girls' meteoric rise from determined wannabes to the Queens of Pop, in a book packed with family photos, glamour shots, and exclusive interviews. 142 pp
