https://www.fonthill.media/collections/song-by-song
The book is called "U2: Song by Song" - it's available via Amazon now in most countries as well, as well as through local book shops etc. Currently they list a June release, however, I'm told it will likely be earlier than that.
[..]
For those who are familiar with the discography / video sections of U2Songs, you'll recognize the type of information here, this time broken down for each song U2 have produced. The chapters are broken up by album, with an individual section for each song on the albums, and a section at the end for other releases during that time. At the end is a discography and list of solo projects.
The book was written in 2021. Was originally planned for a release last March, but paper shortages and prices caused a number of delays. It includes over 300 quotes from U2 and their collaborators talking about their songs...did a deep dive to try to dig out some older interviews...
Excited that this one is finally coming out.

Are there any new or exclusive quotes/interviews?
Although.... "touring the world with the same line-up since the 1970s" 👀

Aaaaah, I just saw it can be bought on Amazon.nl with no shipping costs. NICE! Pre-ordered mine. Delivery date beginning of April.
