Of course, you would want to send them a message ahead of time introducing yourself, asking permission to send them the book & saying that any feedback (positive or negative) is welcome. Looking forward to reading it...

I wish I had found out about it earlier because I would have liked to follow the books creation. Unfortunately, I don't know of any music/book social communities off hand. But when you do find them, I don't think it would hurt to start casually participating in conversations now. This way, you're not just flying in and flying out with your "spam" (you know what I mean). :) As a fellow U2 fan, I can’t wait for this book to come out!
