I also enjoyed: The Outsiders by Steve Lazarides Urban Cookbook by King Adz

You mean apart from the fact that approx 25 of the hundred most important people in street art are galleries and auction houses?
and apart from the fact that it doesn't mention Keith Haring or John Fekner?
And apart from the fact that every piece of text is exactly the same?
other than that it's great, yeah!

The bible. A graffiti book (not street art) but the one that started it all. It's the one to start with for sure. ____________________
Tristan Manco's "Street Sketchbook" is also one of the best.

I have both the Futura & Delta books signed too. Really like both but the Futura book really opened my eyes to the life/person behind the art.
Old pic of the Futura bought in 2001.

Not promoting themselves, but just making incredible art illegally, like it used to be. www.flickr.com/photos/romanywg/sets/72157626588594821/ Remi - Also mentions the Ghost Village Project

You'd need to buy a few to get free shipping but it's still a great deal for a limited edition book with cd.

It's a book of interviews so it would be a little difficult to interview haring. And it does tip its hat to "urban art" as well, much as I hate that term and that means that there are gallerists and auction houses interviewed. But the range of artists interviewed and mentioned is far wider than most books out there.
Puzzled by the comment that every piece of text is the same as well remi? I found the artists interviews to be excellent reads and all very different.

There's a reason they are not in there though, no need to explain why, those little bubbles they live in are fractious enough as it is.

It's actually disappointment. I don't have anything to be bitter about actually mate. beyond anything I'm not even a street artist, but John Fekner is and should have been in that book! He is probably the most important artist in the entire 'street art' movement... yet oft forgotten and even unknown to many people who know nothing more than how to flip a print. And having a quarter of the 100 as galleries who'd only been operating for a couple of years and auction houses, quite frankly is sad and probably led by people protecting their investments over actually progressing a scene.
Don't confuse bitterness with disappointment.
