Summary: Outstanding
Comment: This book is great! It's funny, artistic, intelligent, and emotionally harrowing (in places on the subject of third world hunger and war) all rolled into one. There isn't that much writing but I think this is a good thing as his work is brilliant and the minimalistic amount of text allows for reflection.
From the back cover:
"There's no way you're going to get a quote from us to use on your book cover" - Metropolitan Police Spokesman
Awesome and a good coffee table book/talking point as well.
My Nan think's he's ace!

Summary: Colourful, vibrant, real, hopeful!
Comment: Persecuted in our fast and modern ways we thought the happiness will emerge eventually out of the individualistic work and the enhanced personal security. But instead of happiness we became fearful of the person next to us in such a way we caused depression.
We thought of a million ways to overcome the walls of our communication. Then Banksy, simply and quietly, used the language the humans always knew: "art". Using the freedom we always envy: "our walls". Exposing the obvious where political correctness or personal gain make us go silent: "graffiti".
Enjoy the book.

Summary: Banksy - a great summary of his work
Comment: The book summarizes his work pretty good. The new book (Banksy's Bristol - Home sweet home) does contain a lot of background stories - but this book just contains much more images and niece pieces of art.
Definitely a must-have, if you are interested in (stencil) graffiti.

Summary: There's Another Banksy
Comment: I have this book and absoluetly love it, it exaplains why he did it, how he did it and some of his experieces and anecdotes. The book is excellent to be able to see decent street art, but then I came across the person Bansky is inspired by. He is fairly unknown here in the UK but HE is BANKSY'S idol, he is called Blek Le Rat and he too has a book out, he is a 56 year old frenchman who has been doing the things Banksy has been doing for years longer, you can buy his book off amazon. I would say buy Banksy's book to see the British side of street art, but buy Blek Le Rat if you want to see the true inspiration behind Banksy's work.

Summary: brilliantly cool!!!!
Comment: I bought this book because im into graffiti, hip hop culture and art. Im doing a degree at the moment and thought it would be helpful, and im glad i did because not only is it funny and unique there is also a really clever message behind it all. If your considering buying it for influence with uni work or anthing like that then i seriously recommend it, if your just curious then its a really cool book to have.
