I was just looking at the Amazon.com book page, and saw a discussion started by U2Kitteh, which includes this:
As a true diehard U2 fan, Matt knows exactly what U2 fans want and U2 Diary is sure to become an important staple in every fan’s collection. Promising to be packed with tons of information that fans are itching to commit to memory, U2 Diary sounds like it will hit the spot! Can’t wait!!
(That’s just some of the post. Here’s the full thing.)
Wow! Thanks, U2Kitteh — that’s the sweetest thing. I hope the book lives up to your expectations!

You guys are so good at this, we’re gonna do it again. Sarah at Omnibus has sent me a bunch of photos that don’t have a date. These might be included in U2: A Diary, but we really need to know when (and where, if possible) the pictures were taken.
Some of these are quite obvious in general — “Oh, that’s the Joshua Tree Tour” — but we need to be as specific as possible so photos can be placed at the right spot in the diary/timeline.
If you can help us narrow down the dates on any of these photos, please reply in the comments of this post. And be sure to include the FILENAME so I know which photo you’re talking about.
Sound good?
Here they are: http://www.u2diary.com/pix1/
Thanks in advance!

Now that we’ve solved the first case of “When/Where Was This Photo Taken?” (thanks Mary!), how about we give it another try?
This is like “Ask the Audience” on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I don’t know the answer, but the intelligent audience might be able to help. 
Here’s another photo in consideration for U2: A Diary that we need a date and location for, if possible.
If you know, or have an intelligent guess, please speak up in the comments. Thanks in advance!

Have a look at this, please:
Sarah, the photo editor at Omnibus, asked me if I knew when or where this photo was taken. The caption included with the photo only says, Bono on stage, cutting up an American flag and throwing it back into audience.
First, that’s a white flag, not an American flag. Other than that, the main question is … when and where was this taken?
I gave Sarah a guess, but thought I’d turn to you, the ultra-smart U2 fans following this blog, to see if you know more about the photo than I do. I’m guessing you do.
Let me know in the comments, please!

Raul was first to notice a cover image for U2, A Diary on Amazon:
I checked with Chris at Omnibus (my editor) to see if this is the cover, and the answer, in one word is:
Maybe.
There’s a big publishing industry trade show coming up in London and this is the cover they’re using for the promotional material that will be displayed there. There’s a chance it’ll be the final cover image, too. But also a chance it’ll change.
So, there you have it. Nice find, Raul.
