KAWS: Man's Best Friend Book Release , by Wearology on Sept 16, 2016 3:47:43 GMT 1, The book release was a complete shit show. People were buying 5 - 10 books at a time and the artist was signing and doodling them all. You could tell that 90% of these books will be flipped on EBAY because the people were asking for him specifically NOT to dedicate the books to anyone. Kaws looked tired but stayed 45 minutes more than he was scheduled to. I waited on line for over 2 hours and didn't get a signed book. They sold 800 books at the show to about 150 people and they have another 4,200 to sell online. The cost at the show was $40 for the book and $10 to get into the show. It seems that there is definitely a pattern with the real fans that just wanted 1 book for their collection versus the majority that were there as a business. For the forum people who reached out to me for a book I am sorry to report I failed you. If anyone has a spare signed one please send me a PM as I would gladly trade you an unsigned one and little something something for your generosity. About 150 people were still online when Kaws left for the evening.

Was there and saw much of this.
Saw people leaving with 10+ books and people with girlfriends, friends, parents with them in order to grab more.
Enjoy the book, flip through it and read thes**t out of it. It's lovely. But don't fish for a signed one for some time until the prices crash(as they will).
And if you go to the fair, grab a copy of Rene Ricard's notebook from Morel. They are out-of-print but have some there. Amazing insight into the mind of the man who helped make Basquiat famous. Retail is $25.
disclosure: I own multiple copies of the Ricard book for both my own collection(one for car and one for home bookshelf), Christmas gifts, and to potentially sell later. I actively buy and sell books on both Amazon and eBay. So, bias should probably be assumed.

KAWS: Man's Best Friend Book Release , by Deleted on Sept 16, 2016 7:26:46 GMT 1, And, I'll say, signed books suck. It turns something informational, educational, into a collectible to be handled with kid gloves. Bonus, displaying is as**tshow.
When I get a great art book, I want to bring it everywhere. I often buy copies for home and for the car(yes, I drive around with a library in the car, so wherever I go I have good reading). I beat my books, break them, and then give the results to my kids while buying a new one(well, new to me, probably used).
I just don't like how a book, being signed, often becomes a hermetically sealed waste.

KAWS: Man's Best Friend Book Release , by Happy Shopper on Sept 16, 2016 10:04:50 GMT 1, It's annoying that Kaws allows multiple items at signings... but I have a feeling that more flippers on eBay add to his hype and he actively allows it for this purpose.
Shame for those having to queue for hours though just for one signed item!

(if there is more time and he wants to stay), people can queue up again for additional books. just seems common sense. sorry to hear of those who waited and were unable to get a book signed.

I am in the colorful kaws works, but Snoopy and the blackwhite works are not mine. So if someone can show some insights of the book would be a great for a buying decision. That would be nice.
Sometimes flippers are helpful. Exspecially in the sea, but mostly they suck!

KAWS: Man's Best Friend Book Release , by maddoghoek100 on Sept 16, 2016 18:03:22 GMT 1, Couple of general thoughts. I have not seen the ebay listings but every book i saw doodled was personalized, every book that i saw not personalized was not doodled.
I dont know if that pattern kept up, but i bought three books and each was for a specific person, incribed to that person and doodled. That seemed to be the common trend at the front of the line, that the people buying multiples were buying them for specific people.
Kaws was a real gentleman to spend as much time on each personalized book as he did, but that did make it hard for people at the back of the line. Hard to fault the guy for wanting to make them special and perhaps the gallery should have cut the line sooner or limited it to one per person, but i think the number of ebay books will be lowish
He did not sign any retail items from what i saw and politely declined to sign every black sketch book i saw offered to him. So it was just books.
