Best graffiti book I've seen so far 
This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to really learn about the graffiti movement, and see literally hundreds of pictures of the art form, on walls all over the world. You can see commonalities and themes that emerge, and get the sense that this is an art form that's here to stay, with enduring human value. The book is creatively wrapped in a nifty poster you can unfold and hang on your wall. I'm an art teacher, and I consider this book a great classroom resource.
No good. 
Horrible. Not happy with Seller. I never even received the book, way after it was supposed to be shipped.
Overwhelming
First of all, there's no way you can look through this book in one sitting -- there's an exhausting amount of art in this book. A lot of the artwork is so intricate that you could spend minutes to hours studying and analysing the pieces. Although I bought this as a gift for someone else, I did get a chance to look through the book before giving it away. What I liked was that the street art wasn't just a collection of idiotic, poorly written names on walls (I hate tagging). Rather, these pieces were often thought-provoking political and social commentaries, or just genuine pieces of art. I really didn't get a chance to read any of the text, but even if it was all complete gibberish, the photos of the artwork were enough to make this a truly great book.
So much Diversity, so Little time
This book is a good piece to just leave out on your coffee table and let visitors pick up. It's not hard to let the hours fall away just looking through all of the different artists and all of their different works.
Pure pleasure!
Great quality pictures! Amazing graffitis and some other kind of wall art by artist and continent.
