The Beastie Boys have just inked a deal with publishers HarperCollins to assemble a book comprising the Grand Royal magazine and Grand Royal website works. There's no release date for it yet, but a publicist for the band said it will feature lots of archive material, plus interviews and features that are out of print. The band is also readying a slew of exclusive material that is being put together solely for the book. Grand Royal first hit the scene in 1993. Seven issues have been released, and sales of those issues have topped 330,000. Although still tentative, a price of $40 is being discussed for the collection. -- Darren Davis, New York source: www.launch.com
