Burn After Reading – Romanywg

This is a nice small book (21 x 15 cm, + 250 pages) about graffitti, mostly concentrating on large murals, some of them are great, others not. I’m not sure if this format is really good for a graffitti book – a bit small. And the text is definitly too small…

but what bugs me more is the shameless, noncritical glorification of graffitti and their artists in general – some of it is true but often the author overshoot the mark. Apart from that it is great to look at, maybe ignore most of the text and dont expect much information, apart from which artist did what piece. 15,90 Euro (dolf)
