A Good U2 "Bible?"

[Utoo]

Are there any books out there that list every single song that U2 has ever done?

I've been using "U2: Into the Heart" as my songlist "bible," but I've come to notice that it definitely misses quite a few. Most glaringly, the new edition includes HTDAAB, but doesn't note any of the b-sides or singles.

Any suggestions?

Yep I noticed also that it doesn't include the early demos.

U2 Propaganda? I think that came out after ATYCLB but it was before HTDAAB.

There's this great book called U2 Live. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...f=pd_bbs_9/103-8518519-5079020?_encoding=UTF8
i'm not so sure about the earlier stuff in this book, but I know that it goes all the way to the end of the Elevation tour. it even has little pictures here and there ;] each show that U2 ever did is listed with a setlist and review as well as any significant events/duets or fan encounters that occurred. i don't own it, but everytime i go to the bookstore, i like to look at it =)
next time i go, i'll definitely check the status of the coverage of their early demo stage.

it's a lot different than U2 Show, which is mainly a picture documentary of the U2 tours throughout the years

I was just thinking of that one too. I actually haven't seen a recent edition (the former author, Pim Jal de la Parra, died, and Caroline of U2log.com took it over), but I know the old edition at least had an utterly exhaustive discography, complete with lists of other artists' songs which have only been performed as live "snippets."
