Synopsis
From the director of the underground documentary film Who's Bozo Texino? comes a rollicking rail zine of boxcar graffiti and obscure railroad nostalgia-the result of a 25-year obsession with hobo and railworker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hoboes and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine., In Texas in the early 1900s, a little chalk drawing started to appear on boxcars: a minimalist sketch of a figure with a ten gallon hat, smoking a pipe, and signed 'Bozo Texino.' This famous railroad tag defied the human lifespan, appearing over 100,000 times over 90 years. Who was Bozo Texino? Artist Bill Daniel set out to solve the mystery of the man behind the pipe and hat. It turned into a 25-year quest, taking Daniel on a tour of railyards and graffiti throughout the US. The result was a documentary, Who is Bozo Texino? and the book Mostly True , chronicling modern day hobos, rail workers and a forgotten outsider subculture. It's full of obscure railroad nostalgia, freight riding stories, interviews with hobos and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine. This wonderful and historical book features photos by Tim Gibson, Gene Poon, Toby Hardman, Joan Peacock, Obscura, Coleslaw Kid, Mike Brodie, Austin Mcmanus, Brad Wescott, Jai Janju, Akasha Rebut, Heidi Tullman, Matokie Slaughter, North Bank Fred, Hans Hansen, Smokin Joe, Eden Batki, Daniel Leen, David Pedroni. Additionally, it features graffiti artists: Bozo Texino, Herbert Meyer, Sidetrack, Smokin Joe, and illustrations by J. Alone and Laura Bellmont., Daniel has crafted a remarkable book, full of obscure railroad nostalgia - the result of a 25-year obsession with hobo and rail-worker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hobos and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern-day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine.

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
