Sheffield sensations Arctic Monkeys are planning to release an official biography in time for Christmas.
The band were apparently peeved off after someone they had never met or spoken to released an unofficial account of the group's meteoric rise over the last year.
It is thought that the new book will finally shed light on why drummer Andy Nicholson left the band earlier this year.
Alex Turner, Matt Helders, Jamie Cook and Nicholson's replacement Nick O'Malley are up for four Q magazine awards later this month, including best album for Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not, best live act, best track for I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor and best breakthrough act.
"We're thrilled to bits to be nominated for four Q awards. It's great to be recognised for what we love doing, making music and playing live. It's a real honour. We keep thinking our year can't get any better," an Arctic Monkeys statement said.
Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not made music history when it became the fastest-selling debut British album in February.
