Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by hnkpnk on Nov 3, 2020 0:05:43 GMT 1, Thanks.
They also look strange with the title totally off center on the cover.

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by 2manyprints on Nov 3, 2020 7:25:01 GMT 1, Hey guys those ebay ones that are currently up are FAKE. I purchased 2 directly from the seller and they just arrived today. They lack the quote on the back and the quality of text and images are no where near that of the authentic one (with receipt) I own and compared them to.
The seller told me that he bought them in bulk from a "charity shop" back in 2003 but the copies definitely don't have the wear and discoloring of what a copy purchased in 2003 would look like today (compared to my authentic one where the pages are yellowing).
Here's some comparison pics- (Left is authentic, Right is fake)
It's a lot more obvious in person. The seller is claiming he had no idea is providing a full refund but I'm also going to ask him to take all his other auctions down. It's doubtful he will so if y'all can report his listings as fakes that would be grand. Will hopefully save many others from getting ripped off.
Hope this helps

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by mrdeano on Nov 7, 2020 18:24:23 GMT 1, I have a set that I have had for probably 10 years plus.
Just looked at mine and they all have the quotes on the back of the books etc.
However, on the inside cover of my copy of banging your head, the publishing details are different to those in your photos.
My copy shows banksy@banksy.co.uk and @banksy 2001 so obviously different to your copy again.
Those copies shown with wonky covers etc are obviously fake but it would be interesting to know more about the various print runs.

I got mine back in the days from source. The earlier versions have a quote on the back.

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by Dahmer on Nov 15, 2020 12:58:43 GMT 1, I had all 3 back in the day but they’ve gone missing Along the road somewhere and only had ‘banging your head’ left but I picked up a ‘ Existencilism’ yesterday for a tenner which I’m quite happy about considering the prices people want for these now. Anyone got a cut it out at a decent price?

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by marshalgibs on Nov 24, 2021 12:38:56 GMT 1, There’s a great story behind the painting of the Wild Style cow and others. Banksy asks a farmer (not the lonely variety, btw) if he can paint some cows in the field. Farmer says sure, go ahead and leaves him to it. Farmer comes back later that day, non too happy to see his newly decorated cows. Banksy says but you said it was ok? Farmer says I thought you meant you wanted to paint a picture of the cows, not the animals themselves! and if anyone believes that story it shows the PR is working. More likely B knows the farmer and suggests painting some lettering on his cows as a stunt and farmer goes along with it cos farmer is part of the B clique for best consultant. Why did Banksy rip off the wild style lettering from two NY graffiti artists. Is it that hard for B to come up with some original lettering?

For a start it is brilliantly executed, and beautifully self-referential. What is being destroyed is not only art, it is knowledge and culture and history too - in this case something iconic and invaluable. The worker is concentrating on doing a very good job cleaning back to the ugly flawed wall behind, giving the grafiti he is erasing no thought. It is a warning too that we don't know the value of some things until we have a great deal of hindsight, and we should be very cautious in both judgment and destruction. |

So anyone bothered about the shameless 'Link Building' exercise above? Bait and switch sucking up the remnants of whatever link juice this forum still has left to be hijacked....

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by JockoLad on Apr 10, 2022 13:55:16 GMT 1, Forumites,
Due to eBay non-payment, frustratingly, I am offering this up to the forum. Payment by bank transfer with buyer paying for shipping (likely around £3). I am looking for £80.
Banksy: Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall - Seminal Art Book by the elusive street artist.
The book documents some of his earliest street works and acts as a forerunner to the globally successful ‘Wall and Piece’.
A great entry point into the world of street art and, more specifically, Banksy.
Slight crease to front cover as detailed in photos. Please be aware if this before deciding to buy.
Get in touch if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer.

Lately I've been reading only my school books, nothing extra. My greatest discovery in the past year was www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/ivypanda/ and it helped me a lot in my studies and to keep my sanity actually too.

Banksy Books • Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by xvx269 on Sept 28, 2022 7:43:44 GMT 1, Early copies had a page of the Gasmask Queen weapons of Mass Distraction Stamps 2/3 pages from the inside back cover...
Reading this prompted me to check my copy, and the stamp image is there. Did they remove this image in later editions?
Fwiw, I also found the original receipt for the signed Westin Super Mare I finally sold a couple of years ago. It cost me a hundred pounds in 2003 😆

Same. Both copies bought on release and in excellent condition.
One even had my signed Weston receipt from 2003 in the back!

They are in fair but solid condition, slightly worn on the spines and both seem to have had some sticking damage to the first page (please see pics below)

Also looking to sell a spare copy of Invader Part 3 which is in mint condition, complete with show card, I will also include a Potosi map £75 delivered in the UK.
