This book has a lot of great pictures and is formatted to be very browsable. There are different colored breakout boxes for different information about the artists. It’s bright and fun, and there may be some interest in it following the popularity of the street art documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop”

2011 Book 125/100 loved the art and the content (interviews with the artists), but the layout felt chaotic to me. maybe that is the point since it is street art?
