Once again I had a nice surprise when I knew about this book in 2014, 21 years after the Zooropa tour did hit Europe.
This is a CREW book, not issued for the band or the direct management but for the teams that travel in advance to build the stage town to town and leave it ready for the band to play. We have already seen this kind of books issued also for the Outside Broadcast leg of the ZOO TV or more recently for the 360º tour.
Only 23 people are on the Crew list on this book so you can imagine how difficult can be to find a copy of this book nowadays.
This book comes with a big black ZOO TV ZOOROPA'93 logo on a yellow cover that has also got the "Steel Itinerary" text plus the Upfront logo.
This book covers from April 4th 1993 to August 31st and it is covering all the process since the stage was built in Cardington (U.K.) for the Production Rehearsals to the day when the stage is loaded in containers at the end of the tour.

As I mentioned before, the book was basically issued for the crew so it does not contain too much relevant information related to the band.

Every day on the road has got a specific page where we find all the information for the 2 teams (SYSTEM A and SYSTEM B) that where traveling up and down Europe. As usual, the information included on this itinerary is related to hotels, travel times, phone numbers, venues details and so on.
As Europe was still "un-united" there is also a page with the exchange rates to help the crew on the tour. Also a page with AT&T information on how to call to the USA form the different european countries.
