Anton Corbijn: U2 & i
In Corbijn's long career there has been one constant: the band U2 and their collaboration of 22 years. U2 & i is dedicated to Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam, to their longstanding friendship, mutual inspiration and common experience of music during those years, that has become part of the history of photography through this interaction.

In this sought after title the long history from their first encounter in February 1982 in New Orleans to their April 2004 Lisbon shooting for the most recent U2 album is documented in a wealth of private and official photos with hand-written annotations by the photographer.

U2 & i by Anton Corbijn is the world bestselling title from 2005, hardcover, reduced size, reduced price & special edition. Purchase U2 & i by Anton Corbijn
