1D to 'bring fans even closer' with release of two news books in 2014

One Direction is set to release two new books, which will bring their fans "even closer".

The English-Irish pop boy band will release their autobiography with HarperCollins before the end of 2014 and One Direction: The Official Annual 2015, the Mirror reported.

The untitled hardback autobiography, which is set to be out by September, will cost 20 pounds, and fans will have to shell out 7.99 pounds for their annual, which will contain exclusive photos and behind-the-scenes stories of the bandmembers.

Publishing director Natalie Jerome insisted that the fans will come closer, as they will get to know the band's story in a different light.
