If you collect decals, stickers or surf related items (as I have since the 1950's) you will love this book. It is a "must have" for your library. Good mix of vintage and modern. Highly recommended.
That having been said - the reason I did not give it 5 stars is that there is no index. All books should have an index. There is no excuse for not including an index - which is really needed for a book like this.
Also, this book in no way is a complete reference to all surf decals (nor do they say it is) as there are many that are not included. There is also quite a few pages of non-surf decals which is fine by me. I love the old pinup travel decals! The pogs section and chapter 4.1 could have been deleted. I don't see how the KFAT or KPIG decals fit in while they leave out the most important surf radio station decal of all which is KLIV.
Aside from this little nit-picking I really enjoyed this book and it is a great addition to my book shelves. Buy it you'll like it!

I've been around since most of these pieces of art were created and have to say it was a pleasure to see all of them again in this one book. I'd have to assume that this is a collection of several people's stash of this type of art and a huge congrats for making it available for young and old to appreciate and enjoy. These are the icons of our surfboard roots and more. Thanks to all involved for a great collection for our viewing pleasure.
Aloha to all of you who made the effort to put this in print.

Cool treatment of subject, Great photo repo of images. Some unusual logos I've never seen and I've seen thousands... surfcrazy.com
