For once, a graphic book that lets the images speak for themselves. Outstanding printing, true to the essence. Highly recommended!

Buy this if you want a collection of street art. It's a good reference book--no text however. The binding is not the best, I had to use my jade glue to fix it but did not really mind that--books get worn out.

very poorly sewn from the day you received this book can not be opened in a way that can be enjoyed at all, tends to fall apart

I love this. Love every page of it, every image. I took out my 25 favorite pages (so hard to choose) and had them framed together, 5x5. So, it's a fantastic grid of birds and prosthesis and mermaids and vacuum cleaners and (best of all) the cords and plugs that run over the images in real life!

Disappointing. I sent it back and ate the return postage. There was no context, no notes telling where in Mexico the images came from, no clue to the actual creators of the signage or designs. An interview with even one of the sign painters would have made all the difference for me. I felt like a tourist in the worst sense, a hip tourist, but a tourist nonetheless. At a bricks and mortar bookstore, I would never have purchased this book.
