I just received my copy of this book in the mail yesterday, after ordering it off eBay. Needless to say, it's one of the best purchases I've made recently.

For those of you that don't know who Banksy is, he's an artist. His medium may not be on the right side of the law, but nevertheless he's been, shall wee say, sprucing up various cities over the years, including London, New York, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, and Melbourne. His graffiti has a biting dark humor throughout it, poking fun at today's society and its flaws.

What's interesting about this book is that despite the fact that no one knows who Banksy is, the entire thing was written and put together by him. He has various things he writes that criticize today's culture but with a dark sarcasm:

Banksy Wrote:Only when the last tree
Has been cut down
And the last river
Has dried to a trickle
Will man finally realize
That wee cannot eat money
And reciting old proverbs
Makes you sound like a twat

This guy even went to the Segregation Wall in Palestine and decorated it.





Anyway, this book is really worth it, especially since I found a seller on eBay that has them for $15 + $5 US shipping. Buy it. Now.
