Nice question isn't it? And not easy to answer walking tours in europe at all. The truth is that after some years collecting these beautiful books I learned that you can never be sure you have a full knowledge on this topic.
When I was 100% sure U2 had started using itineraries for the first time on The Joshua Tree tour....a book belonging to WAR tour came up on Ebay so I can imagine there are other books for WAR tour and some other books were also printed for The Unforgettable Fire tour.
So at the moment I'm writting this entry I know about the existance of a total of 37 different U2 itinerary books. walking tours in europe When I say different I am considering that 2 books with same content but different cover are different walking tours in europe books (i.e. I consider Popmart Europe itinerary book with colorfull cover and/or walking tours in europe black and white cover as two different books).
As you see some tours had the same itinerary for band and crew, some other tours or legs had specific itineraries for band and specific books for crew, final legs of 360º only had itineraries for crew....I don't really know the reason as this has been changing tour after tour.
About how difficult can be to find each one of those books...it off course depends on the book. We should think bigger tours, with more people involved, should have more itineraries on the road so those books might be easier to find. That's right...but not accurate.
If I had to mention the most common walking tours in europe books I'd think of the Popmart Europe Advance Popmart itinerary, the Popmart walking tours in europe Europe (B/W cover) walking tours in europe itinerary book, Popmart USA Leg 3 (B/W cover) book and the U2 360º 2009 crew book.
But...be walking tours in europe careful because there are many counterfeits or fake copies of the Popmart walking tours in europe Europe Advance Popmart itinerary and the U2 360º 2009 crew book, most of them coming recently from an Ebay mexican seller.
On the other side, there are many books I only saw one or two times for sale so you can imagine they won't be easy to find....the one from War tour, the TJT 1st leg book, all those from Lovetown tour, the 2 ZOO TV outside broadcast crew books, the ROW ZOO TV itinerary, the Popmart USA advance itinerary, the ROW Popmart with colour walking tours in europe cover, the 3 Elevation books, the ROW Vertigo book and even the recent 360º 2011 Crew book......Difficult to make a list as they all are quite rare.
And finally...the prices....off course these books value has increased in the last few years as soon as people knew about their existance and had more information about each book. Don't get crazy bidding for them...more than 100 Euros is already too much on those more common books. Collecting is just a question of patience...some day you will find the gemm you have been looking for...at a reasonable price.
