5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool, September 16, 2006
By

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rock Tease: The Golden Years of Rock T-Shirts (Vintage Tees, Rock Tees) (Paperback)
Very cool. A must have for anybody who loves rock and roll memorabilia and a delight for fans of rock in general. The book takes a funny yet sophisticated look at the history, design and significance of rock t-shirts and even throws in some interviews with the gurus of rock tees. Most important the book is stocked with excellent pictures of the coolest, most bizarre and funkiest rock tees. As the book says "Everything you need to know about rock and roll is writ large on rock T-shirts." And everything you want to know about rock T-shirts is writ large in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Rock T-Shirt Book Hands Down, February 2, 2007
By 
D. E. Herczeg (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rock Tease: The Golden Years of Rock T-Shirts (Vintage Tees, Rock Tees) (Paperback)
Accept no imitations--rock tease is the real deal. I had to buy a second copy because mine was getting so worn from use. The pictures are great, the t-shirts are awesome, and it's clear that this sexy book's authors not only know what they're talking about, but treat the whole thing as a labor of love. That said, I love this book, my friends love this book, my neighbors all have copies, and you should too: it's just that good.

This review is from: Rock Tease: The Golden Years of Rock T-Shirts (Vintage Tees, Rock Tees) (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for the rock t-shirt afficionado and the casual fan alike. Fantastic photos of hundreds of rock's most interesting tees. The text details the t-shirts' designs and surveys the major trends in rock tees from the 1950's through the 1990's. I bought this book for myself and then ordered it for several friends. I highly recommend it for any rock or fashion fan!
