In June 2010, at Bieber's appearance on Today, Caplin showed Bieber and his team the prototype book and convinced them to work with him on it. HarperCollins published the book, Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story, in October 2010. The book spent 15 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.

On June 26, 2013, Caplin filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against gossip blogger Perez Hilton for allegedly publishing 14 of Caplin's photos of Glee actor Darren Criss on his own website without Caplin's permission.
