Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS Hardcover – July 9, 2023

The books don't come sealed in plastic like other language versions. My copies were packed bare inside the Amazon shipping box with not even a layer of bubble wrap for protection. Despite that, they were in perfect condition, with no visible transit damages or manufacturing flaws. The book is of very good quality. The hardcover is nice and smooth to the touch, the outer imagery is very pretty, and the inner pages are made of good quality paper, so they don't feel thin and flimsy as your turn them. The font size is a little large for my liking but I suppose that's to make for a more comfortable reading experience for most people. I personally prefer a slightly smaller sized font. Content wise, well the previews prior to release were pretty self-explanatory. If you're a longtime fan, you know what went down over the years. This covers what we know of and more and will have you emotional and in tears one moment, then laughing the smiling the next. Be prepared to have tissues on hand to dab at your eyes and a blanket or your favourite pillow for comfort as you read. You'll relive joyous and painful moments in equal measure. The included pictures don't fill the entirety of the pages they're on the way the Korean version for example does. This doesn't bother me much given that it is a memoir and not a photobook, but some may buy this thinking they're full pics so please be aware. I'm very happy to own this piece of our (BTS & ARMY) shared history and if there's one piece of merch I'd recommend you own as fan (given that you can afford it ofc) it would be this. The boys have been through an incredible journey over the past ten years and this does a pretty good job of recounting that and more. Plus it looks great on a shelf. Get it, you won't regret the purchase.p.s. this was never advertised as including the photocard set so please don't expect it with your order. Only in-store purchases at some B&N locations will receive them, as the photocard set was sent in limited amounts to be given to customers (and you need to ask for it as well because not all branches will just automatically put it in the bag with your purchase). Some international versions of the book do include it however, so do your research if you want the pcs to find out how to get them.

Borahae, BTSARMY! Yes, BTS is my favorite group/artist, etc, etc. There is a lot of people creating and merchandising products around the BTS brand and history, but I consider that this book is a must for every fan. This book was an essential lecture and reference during the tannies MS. It's important to know better their history from verify sources. I recommend to buy this book.
