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.
