The Jonas Brothers sit down to talk about their new book Burnin' Up, the AMAs, and playing to packed stadiums in Mexico.

What does this book mean to you?

Kevin: It’s very exciting for us.

Nick: It’s kind of like our little personal scrapbook of this last year and half and how amazing it’s been. The photographer, Rob Hoffman, is a very close friend of ours now, and he started taking pictures at the Texas State Fair. I think we all said, "Wow, this is going to be really something great." We stuck on for about a year and a half, and it’s been amazing ever since.

Is it going to reflect favorite stories on tour and things like that?

Kevin: I think every moment is an amazing story, an amazing memory for us to look back on. We received so many fan books over the last couple years; We thought it was definitely our time to give back. It was really cool to look at these pictures and say, “Oh my gosh! That was only a year ago!” It puts a smile on your face.

Any favorites?

Joe: I have a Polaroid camera that I bring with me everywhere on tour, and for the past three or four years, I’ve been taking pictures of everything - from our fans, to being on stage. It’s really cool be able to have this piece in the book of just my Polaroids and the notes I'd written on them.

What do you think the fans are going to be surprised about?

Kevin: While went on the European tour with Avril Lavigne, we were on the cell phone calling back telling stories about every picture that we approved for the book.

Nick: But there was a time difference while we were on tour, so we’d get off stage about 11 p.m. every night, talk on the phone for around three hours, then go to bed. Then we’d wake up and do some more.
