Carlton Books are to release U2: the Best of Propaganda: 20 Years of the U2 Magazine.
U2’s official fan magazine, Propaganda, was launched in 1986. 31 issues were published, but things have been quiet around the magazine since the last issue. Rumours concerning its demise surfaced during the Elevation tour. The website states: “We are awaiting a final decision from the band as to how Propaganda will officially go away.”
From Amazon.co.uk’s synopsis: “This lavish, beautiful coffee-table book compiles the finest moments, wittiest essays, most candid interviews and beautiful photography from the magazine’s twenty year existence and reproduces them in their original design and typography.”
The book is due for publication in September 2003.
This book will be published by Thunder’s Mouth Press in the United States under its own imprint. American readers may want to wait to purchase the domestic version and avoid paying international shipping.

rip, propaganda… however I can understand the band’s desire to lose it. the news was always old. but i really do hope they continue it online in some form, because getting tickets through propaganda was wonderful.

That’s the part I’ll mourn, Lucy, I have never in my life been treated so well while buying concert tickets, hell, with buying almost anything. Their system is a model for all those who encourage scalping, fistfights and ticketbastard service charges, then shrug and say, we’d like to do it a better, fairer way, but how? I just hope they spend a little coin and get a proofreader for this book — I couldn’t believe it took a year to get a hold of a Propaganda, just to find one typo after the other. May sound like a pet peeve to some, but if you’re going to do something, do it right, and that drives me crazy…
