Last year, Transworld Publishers announced they inked a deal with New Order's Bernard Sumner to publish his autobiography in 2014. According to last year's press release from Transworld, the memoir will explore "Sumner’s formation of Joy Division alongside Ian Curtis, his relationship with band mate Peter Hook, and the inspiration for "Blue Monday," the biggest selling 12" single of all time." It appears Sumner's 352 page book has a tentative August 28th release date through Bantam Press, a division of Transworld.
Meanwhile, Peter Hook is writing his own New Order memoir, which he promises will be juicy, according to what he told MTV Hive last year:
"The New Order book will be like Mötley Crüe...when I write that book, there will be some filthy, dirty, dark secrets coming out."
As of last month, Hooky was still working on the memoir.
Finally, legendary photographer Kevin Cummins also revealed on twitter today that he's releasing his own New Order book, which is set for a March 2015 release.
