Design collaborators, Four5One, publish new book documenting graphichistory of U2.

Designers Shaughn McGrath and Steve Averill have been at the heart of thegraphic design of U2 for decades. In fact Steve as our earlier storyillustrates, has collaborated with the band since day one.

This past weekend the pair were in Cleveland, to give a talk on their workwith U2 at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and, coinciding with this, theyhave published a lavish new book 'Stealing Hearts at a Travelling Show'.

The book details the involvement of Four5One - now the company name - withU2, from the very first single right up to the last album, the second volumeof the Best Of series. It is a beautiful documentation of thecollaboration between band and designers in the effort to visualise theirmusic.

As well as Steve and Shaughn discussing their work, there are newinterviews with Bono and Adam and all kinds of graphic design out-takesincluding album covers that never saw the lights of day, tour books, t-shirtexecutions and other surprises.

Only 6000 copies of Stealing Hearts At A Traveling Show have been printed,including 2000 in hardback.

The book will be on sale if you are visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Famein the next few months and also online from the Four5One website, priced at

HARDBACK $65 (€55.50, £40.00stg.) plus P&P
