First off, if you are a fan of Vice, then you probably already own this book. And if you are a fan and don't, then shame on you! Second, this is a great book for anyone just interested in photography. It catalogs the history of Vice magazine through years worth of photography. It also has interviews and insights from nearly all of the contributors. There is a very large and varied collection of photos from both established photographers like Kern and McGinley, to up-and-comers like Warren. All in all, very high quality with some amazing imagery. A must have for modern photography lovers.

This book is exactly what it says it is, a giant photo book. It has brief portfolios from the magazine's major photogs (Terry Richardson, etc) as well as large sections of photos divided by subject matter. (Music, Fashion, Journalism) The overall quality of the photography naturally varies, but there are some truly interesting shots. I was very pleased with this purchase.

My one gripe is that the paper stock changes from glossy to a coarser paper a few times within the book. (It's about 50/50, maybe fewer glossy pages) Presumably this was done to cut down on costs. It's not terrible, but pictures on the normal paper look rather faded compared to the photos on the glossy stock. I got used to it though.

FYI, the MSRP is $45. I think that price is just about right. It's a very entertaining book to flip through, perfect for the coffee table.

This is some of the most interesting photography published in years and years, but if you read VICE then you already know this. These pictures are challenging, dirty, unconventional, low-brow, high-art, and so on, and so on. Worth every penny.

I love this book so much! It has all the best work from Vice's best photographers: Ryan McGinley, Dash Snow, Jerry Hsu, Patrick O'Dell, etc. I've already owned it for five years and I still find myself looking at it over and over again. If you're on the rocks about getting it, just do it. You seriously won't regret it.

Acabo de recibir este libro y el paquete llego muchisimo antes de lo esperado.

El libro es simplemente asombroso, el tamaño del libro grande y las fotos son fenomenales.

Simplemente Grandioso

I bought this book for my brother who is a photographer. It features a nice collection of modern pieces, some remind me of old school Diesel campaigns. Printed on nice heavy weight stock.

I have to keep yanking this back from my kids...an honest look at the world we rarely see or write about...let alone talk about. Nice peek into life.

The images, people, and wide range of topics make this an endlessly fascinating addition to your library.
Highly Recommended!

This book has crazy pics from all over. Perfect for your modern living space setup. Not for kids because it contains some nudity.

I bought this as a gift for my friend's herbal medicine shop and his customers love this book.
