I like this book, no I LOVE this book. The images are crisp. The book goes in the lifestyles and the minds of the artists that started the a revolution out on the west coast as it was an epidermic on the east coast. This book covers just about the start of L.A. graffiti. It could go a few years back, and doesn't really touch on too many of the late 80's writers. It could go a few more years back, however this does not take away from the length of detail it goes into. It touches on just about every crew to come out of L.A. during this time period. All the crews you know L.A. for are in here. All the best artist your used to seeing, but more!! Some under ground writers you probably haven't heard of are all ion this book. It will take you back and bring you to it. The author makes you fell as it you were right there. it touches on early yards and legal mural spots. I would recommend this book to anyone that has any kind of interest in graffiti art. weather you are a writer yourself or just like the art form, you will love this book, too! i would def pick it up at any cost. I cant go into any kind of review about the dvd-rom that is included, as I have purchased this book 3 times and have not received a disc yet. so you will have to be the judge of that. but this book is so good, i keep trying to find a copy with the dvd-rom. its that good of a book. i don't mind owning 4 copies!!Read full review
This book was informative as to the different styles and their origins. It clearly outlines the evolution of writing in LA from the early 80's to the present. All of the color pictures are beautifully done and really shows you the range of art in this form. If you are looking to learn new styles this will give great insight to what's out there but it doesn't teach you anything. So that is the only bad.
If you are into graffiti at all, this is a must buy! the book just has so many things in it that just blew me away!!!! this is a must buy!
