Well, from what i’ve seen most Croatian web sites reported on the media event announcing the book (pretty much all websites have similar story written, some with event pics, and a few with ur video too), and theres some articles in the papers (even tho i expected a review of the book in Vecernji today, it wasnt a review, but 2 pages containing parts of ur book (years ’80, ’87 and ’07)).
I’m guessing the reviews will come a bit later, as the book gets on sale on the 15th july.

Thx Marin. I found some coverage on Vecernji’s web site. Are there other web sites/media I should be looking at for reviews, articles?

hey, just a little update. As expected the book was announced today (by the publisher, a member of the company that arranged U2 to play in Zagreb, and the 2 girls who translated the book (one being a hip-hop singer lol)).

Your video was shown on the conference (but only 5mins!), and it was indeed covered by the national television. Also, Vecernji covered it, and will be publishing a review of the book in the tomorrows papers.

And on a side note, the book will cost more here – as expected – than in USA, 38$.

It’s no wonder you couldn’t get the book featured in your hometown newspaper; after all, nobody’s heard of that band over here. But I hear they’re really big in Croatia! ;-)

Hey. Yeah, this news has been on Croatian internet portals for some time now, with a few differences tho :p

The promotion wasnt in an airplane, but a club called Piranha (where the DJ and tribute band played). Also, Vecernji, nor the contest are not mentioned anywhere, so i guess those news have to be published yet.

On a side note, if u do get to answer 10 questions, i would suggest one, which is what can we find in your book that we dont in U2 by U2 (i think you already answered that on this site, but that question is the most often asked on Croatian U2 forum).

Anyways, congratz on the translation =)
