Blu book available at Zooo, by Romulus on Feb 21, 2018 20:55:47 GMT 1, The stock has now gone up to 178, so it doesn't look like they're as limited as suggested above It wasn’t stated to be limited on the website, so I’ve assumed it’s not. I have a feeling it’s going to be great, regardless. The more that can own one, the better.
Yep, agreed. I wasn’t saying it was a bad thing

I wasn’t saying it was a bad thing my guess is there is some limit (the 2004-2007 Studio Cromie book was not presented as limited edition, but they sold out of them a long time ago and the same will happen with these) |

Blu book available at Zooo, by sapi on Feb 21, 2018 21:17:35 GMT 1, title seems to reference minima moralia, which makes sense (am curious if this book is a mid-career retrospective or a catalog raisonne)

From the publisher: "The most complete collection of every mural painted by the artist during the last 15 years." Doesn't sound like it'll contain anything about prints/originals, just murals.

my bigger questions was whether this book was Blu's last act as a street artist. however, he just updated his website, relaunched his shop (which page was blank a few days ago), and artsh.it was offline last i checked and is back online with Blu pointing people there again, so my guess is he is not out yet.

Sorry, misunderstood your question. Agreed though...don't think Blu is done yet.

Blu book available at Zooo, by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 4, 2018 13:37:41 GMT 1, This is indeed a good book. The zine of sketches included in the special edition is nice too. As a minor point of criticism, I do think it would have been nice if information about location and production year of the murals had been included with each photo, rather than as a list at end of the book. http://instagr.am/p/Bf5Nr3blVE- ---------------------------------------------- Read more about The Street Art World----------------------------------------------

Blu book available at Zooo, by gmidd on Mar 22, 2018 1:09:04 GMT 1, Still waiting in Cleveland.
I emailed them last week asking if there was a tracking number and they said it was shipped via "regular mail"--whatever that means--and that there was no tracking. Said 10-20 days on my receipt and we're almost at 30 now, so hopefully it'll show up soon. Looking forward to checking it out!

Blu book available at Zooo, by sapi on Mar 23, 2018 19:14:59 GMT 1, the book is worth the wait (i have been waiting for an updated book for years and this one exceeded expectations - including many nice fold outs and layflat binding not disrupting the images - it is the definitive Blu mid-career survey). my best guess is folks who ordered multiple books got faster shipping (combining shipping on multiple books resulted in faster DHL service for same costs) versus regular mail.
