I'm thinking about buying either U2 show or U2 live, which one do you think is a better book and I should get first? Waiting for your recommendations!
PS: What do you think about this new book called ‘Stealing Hearts At A Travelling Show – The Graphic Design of U2’? Is it worth buying in your opinion? Some more info from u2.com:

Dublin-based design house Four5One have been creating the visual style of U2 since day one. Founder Steve Averill has known the band since school days – in fact it was he who came up with the name ‘U2’.
‘U2 was chosen as a band name simply because Adam had come to me and asked for a name similar to XTC.’ recalls Steve. ‘That was the brief and that's why the initials were chosen.’
Steve and his colleagues at Four5One, notably Shaughn McGrath, have been working to a brief from U2 – and many other clients – ever since. Much of their work is captured in the book, ‘Stealing Hearts At A Travelling Show – The Graphic Design of U2’ but their most recent work with the band was the ‘U218 Singles’ campaign and the ‘U2 by U2’ book – and that’s what we wanted to catch up with Steve and Shaughn about.
