You got sent it & dont know if its any good?

[Ågent ßacardi]

It's actually written by martin (aka mido) who participates this forum. He's the bloke who leads all the free Banksy tours that are advertised here

Sorry, what I meant was I got sent it in an email as a recomendation, not that I'd actually go the book

[andrewd]

Its a good historical record as most of the moveable Banksys in the book are now gone. Still shows positions of numerous wall painted Banksys that are there to enjoy.
WORTH BUYING

I've got a copy of the book too, I'd recommend it, although some of the work has now gone there are updates to the book available on his website.

There is now a new & improved updated version of the book, so make sure you get that one.

I would highly recommend this book. I bought a copy last December and tried out the Thames Embankment tour, which was easy to follow and very informative. A1

Yep, great book. Interesting and informative- and with profits to the big issue.

Nice book - £8.02 from dvd.co.uk including delivery

I think you can get it cheaper from Borders

[corblimeylimey]

As I said in my previous post rather than going for the cheapest option, it would be better to go for the newer improved updated version, they may not be discounting that yet.

Becksaboo is right, I saw it in Borders yesterday, I think it was under £8. Didnt look to close as Ive got one already. Picked up "Street Logos" though, They have loads of Street art stuff and good prices.

used, to participate in this forum. got his knickers in a twist because of silky's dictatorship in administering the forum.

on a serious note, he did have 30 of these up for sale with a load of limted edition specials over on ebay. don't know if they've all gone as it was a little while ago that they went on sale.

martin has not only done loads for people like me, in so much as collating a load of info on banky's street work, plus a percentage from all his book sales goes to help the big issue foundation.

martin, come back on here and sort out another tour for this year. i'm sure there are a whole load of people who would be made up to receive your help. either way, buy the book and go see for yourself what's out there.

My book arrived today, excellent reading, look forward to having a closer look around next time I'm up in London.

Don't know if it's any use to him if he's not around here any more, but Martin mentioned he didn't know who added the 4 to the Welcome to Hell placard rat:



It's a Resident Evil 4 advert - bloody Capcom and their renegade marketing innit
