I Have to say, I'm kinda sorry I bought the collectors edition with the book, for which I paid a ridiculous €32.99(in Ireland btw)
If I had of known of the contents before hand, I would have went for the €25.99 version with DVD.
The book is disapointing, and I was a little bit pissed off that U2 and/ or the record company or whatever, could charge so much for a book containing abstract art that your 3 year old son wouldn't be proud of.
Were are the song lyrics?
Photos from the studio?
Maybe a little interview with each member of the band and their opinion on each song, that would have been much better.
Why on earth they thought fans would be interested in reading this unreadable and pointless waste of paper is beyond me.
I feel cheated, but the album is great.
