The book also featured a new foreword by U2 and the band's manager Paul McGuinness.  The editor of the book was Ian Gittins and design was done by Steve Averill of Four5One Creative.  With the nature of such a book it is impossible to list all the authors and contributors to the original fan club magazines.

This book is a great look into the fan club magazine many of us treasured getting in the mail at random intervals.  I would love to recieve them and would spend hours going through every page, reading every note, and this book brings back some of that feeling.  It isn't a complete reprinting of all the fan club magazines, but does allow someone the first peek inside, perhaps on the road to tracking down the originals some day.  As they have escalated in price, it is nice to have a book which documents this aspect of the bands carreer.
