It's a coffee table book that I just keep coming back to. I never get tired of looking through these images. Everyone that picks it up enjoys it. So much so I have given it as gifts to a few friends that just couldn't put it down.
Interesting and beautiful.

I just bought this for my housemate as a Christmas gift. As someone else mentioned, it's a bit introductory and the text didn't exactly set my world on fire. It's also a bit light in the "five continents" department. That said, the photographs are gorgeous and the book does provide a good, if basic overview of urban culture. My housemate is a graff writer (mostly freights) and years ago had to give away his art books and blackbooks due to a horrible girlfriend, so I am hoping this will go some way to replacing what he had. I seriously doubt he will care about the text anyway, because that isn't this book's strong point and probably isn't going to tell him much of anything he doesn't already know. For the relatively uninitiated though, it's great. And again, the photos are stunning. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves art and urban art in particular.
I do regret buying this from a graff shop instead of Amazon, because it was about $10.00 more expensive, but hey, I like to support local merchants and if my housemate hates the book, he can exchange it for Ironlak lol. Will update if the book gets a negative reception.
