I did read that, and it was a big help for getting dates and detail about photo shoots and such. Forgot to put it on the list, so thanks. :-) Whoops!

Don't forget to read U2 & i - The Photographs 1982 - 2004 by Anton Corbijn. Lots of handwritten info about the photo shoots. And photos of course, many never published before, don't know if you can use those :) I’m looking forward to it!

Read Bono's in his own words for sure and U2 by U2 is worth the money! U2 at the End of the World and Killing Bono are fun reads.

Interesting quotes in there. That's all it is - just quotes, but it does make intersting reading. Good luck with the new book Matt. I’m just now reading Bono: In His Own Words.

That book is so full of errors it's positively ridiculous. Makes "Unforgettable Fire" look accurate. Plus, he doesn't source any of his quotes and there are supposed quotes in there that don't sound like anything Bono would say and that I've never seen elsewhere. There is another new one out that totally dissappoints as well called "All You Need is Love to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb" that was supposedly written by a U2 fan but is full of glaring errors. Most notably saying the Sarajevo satellite links were during the Pop Tour and I think he said the lemon was used during Zoo. The idea behind the book sounded great but it fails to deliver on any front. I'm looking forward to your book because we need one that is both comprehensive and well researched because so many out there just reprint the same errors over and over. I would definitely heavily stress fact checking which I'm sure you are. Dana Don’t bother to read “Bono: In the Name of Love” by Mick Wall. That book is so full of errors it’s positively ridiculous.

It's quite good and the fact that it's in the band's own words and memories might help you a lot. Have you read U2 by U2?

It's got some really good quotes by the man himself, though I don't think they have dates attributed to them. I'm sure you could probably figure out when 99% were made, but it might be helpful to you. Can't wait to follow the progress on the book! It's about time we have something like this...
