 more Graffiti September 27, 2007
as a collector it seems of books on graffiti, this is another one i have added to my collection. full of the same kinds of images you have seen in other books, it does show some new ones and more creative examples. the only thing i don't like is the binding, which has fallen apart already leaving pages hanging on.
I sat down in Waterstones and started to read this book, and I was there for over an hour! This book is brilliant!!!! June 4, 2007

This book is absolutely brilliant. It has loads and loads of different graff artists' works in here and they are all good. I know a lot about graffiti so this isn't coming from a toy. This book proves that graffiti is art whether you like it or not. You will read this book over and over again as it is so good. Every time I go to a book shop I read this book for a bit; maybe some day I'll actually get it. Anyway, this book is great and Cope 2 is wicked.

Not knowing a lot about graffiti, i found this to be an excellent introduction to the many differnt styles that are out there today, since this is one of the most up to date books around. Drawbacks of trying to be so comprehensive are inevitable in that it won't include everyone that you want it to but that doesn't stop this being a real jaw dropper. Some of the pieces in this book are mind boggling, both in style and complexity, whilst others show how different graf can be from one person to the next. It's hard not to have respect for people that can do this kinda stuff with spraycans.
I like it August 15, 2005

despite of all the bad reviews, I have to say I love this book, I am no graffiti expert, actually I know nothing about it. But I am fasicnated with all the great works out there,and I wanna see more and learn something. this book could be my guide, or at least a feast to my eyes. there are 370 pages! this is not an encyclopedia, and I don't care about the works in the 1970's.
Very valid art July 16, 2005

Graffiti is now a recognised art form, reflecting current mores of society more than anything else. This is why some of it's images are so disturbing. It's artists are being villified in the same way as the impressionists were in the 19th. century. Just try and buy a Degas or Monet now!
The global nature of the great art movement which is graffiti is well described and illustrated in this book which is easy to read and is of high quality. Read, study and learn!
