When I saw this book I was kind of hesitant since I have been on a long and somewhat unsuccessful look for a New York graffiti book, but I decided to hope for the best and order this book. Once I received the book I was not disappointed. This book is pretty complete, covering the subways from the early 70s all the way through modern graffiti. What I liked best about this book is that it didn't simply focus on bombing or piecing, it showed both styles of graffiti and explained the origins of each. If you want a good graff book then buy this book, you'll be happy that you did.

This book is pretty thick and has tons of great photos and a lot of text to read. i feel like its one of the better graff books out there, and ive read a lot. the only thing i dont like about it, is its more about piecing and less about bombing, but thats all prefrence. theres a lot of good quotes from past and present nyc writers that i do find very intresting. definetly worth adding to any collection.

I read this book after reading "Graffiti LA," and this one is also a great book. I do not have much to say about this book because it is what it is. Very inspirational if you are interested in graffiti art or any form of modern art.

This is the best book I've seen on NY graffiti. It does an excellent job of presenting the history and context of the art form, and includes a plethora of high-quality photos. The photography demonstrates the energy and creativity of graffiti artists.

Excellent photographs of a unique art form. Informative descriptions of history, culture, artists,and evolution of the art. As a fan of the Underground Comix artists of the '70's, I can understandand and appreciate this '80's derivative.
