(6/30/03, 3 p.m. ET) -- Nirvana: The Day To Day Illustrated Journals has the tacit approval of Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Set for release this September, the collection is a journal account of some of the most memorable moments in the band's history. Author Carrie Borzillo drew a sigh of relief when she heard Courtney was cooperative about the book. "I was very happy when I heard that and I can quote on this, 'Courtney knows you're doing it, and she's fine with it,'" says Borzillo. "To me that was good. So it was a blessing. Because Courtney could, um, cause trouble for people, so luckily that wasn't the situation."
Borzillo added that she would have liked to have added interviews with Courtney Love or former Nirvana band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic to the book, but she couldn't get official clearance. "Unless the band has their own book deal and they want to do it, you're not going to get those people. Legally and management-wise you're not going to be able to get anything."
Nirvana: the Day To Day Illustrated Journals is an updated version of 2000's Nirvana: The Day By Day Chronicle. The $30 book has been updated to feature over 200 pictures.
