Stealing Hearts at a Traveling Show... available again!

[morgan1098]

Just got a notification in my FB feed from Amp Visual that the Stealing Hearts at a Traveling Show book is available again.  If you don't have this, you should get it.  It's super-awesome.  Plus it's a signed copy... AND the first 60 orders get a hand-drawn postcard by Steve Averill... AND you get entered in a drawing to win a numbered copy of Wide Awake in Europe.

And copies are limited.  They found a box from the original print run, in softcover, and they are making it available for a decent price.  The last time I looked for it online (just months ago) it was fetching prices upwards of $200 because of the limited nature of the book.  These were printed by Amp Visual (then Four5One) in limited numbers.

Steve Averill and the guys at Amp Visual have been long time friends to the pages here at u2wanderer.org - I'm happy to plug anything that they do.  They are a great bunch of guys.

::: I was still single, when I bought this book.

IMO, along Anton Corbijn, the "Stealing..." are the Best U2 books ever made.

Our band always have been 100% visual. These 2 books document that perfectly.
I got mine back in the day signed but, part of the signature was smeared in the hard cover 

But I love it anyway!

If you are interested in trying to win a copy there's a contest on atu2.com where you have a chance to win one of three copies.  The details are on the front page over there, as well as further details about the sale of these books.

The contest there closes at midnight November 23, 2012

Just a note for anyone who did want a copy of the book, they posted today over on the AMP visual facebook site that they are down to their last few copies.  Might want to buy sooner rather than later if you are planning to!

More coolness from AMP Visual... although nothing that we haven't heard before.  Actually, I didn't know that the use of the Playboy bunny on the Pop album cover was a total accident.

It seems AMP has updated their U2 page:
