"None left"

The book would have been great 5 years ago when the work was still there. The updated version is just an insert that tells you that the work has vanished and when it was last seen on the wall. I bought this book to find some off his work and in the end I found none because its all gone. So my advice is buy a real coffee table book of his work because this is no good at all. Like I said 5 years or a bit less this book was great I'm sure. His work is still in Bristol so get one made for there instead of milking this one till its dry.

"Second-sight London"

This book provides an enlightening alternative itinerary to the usual 'Rubber-necking' sightseeing tours of London giving an interesting introduction to English 'street culture' and challenges one to differentiate between spray-vandalism and 'Street Art.'

"Good"

Great, arrived on time and my brother likes it. Has the locations of his work which is cool, but it's quite a small book and I think I woulld have got Wall and Piece had I realized.

"The cleaned up version"

There are a significant number of entries that tell you where the banksy graffitti used to be, before it was scrubbed.... provides a good guide to the efforts of the cleaners... but there are a few worthwhile entries ... i would not have felt cheated by a thinner book.

"What a bloody amazing book"

I got into Banksy last year when he went to LA and had the Barley Legal show. His work is amazing, I just didn't realise how much of it actually existed on the streets of London! And loads of its is still in excellent condition too, some hidden off the beaten track, others in alleyways no one would ever think to walk down. Without this book I think it would have taken me the best part of a year of walking through London to find these. I took the book out a few weekends in a row when travelling into London, and I had pretty much seen them all! The little tips given throughout the book are a good addition too, giving you points of interest along the way to look out for. Also, its not just all Banksy, there are loads of other tips for spotting graffiti all over the capital city. A really brilliant book, sod jack the ripper tours. Given me Banksy Location Tours any day of the week me old china plate!
