"Covers most of Blek le Rat's work"
If you want to learn more about Street art roots and Blek le Rat - the main influence of BANKSY, then buy this book. It covers a lot of little stories on his street art, which is, however, a bit more "plain" and artistic, rather then with a sarcastic/funny political message, such as Banksy. Meeting Blek-le-Rat at various occasions in London and New York I have to say he's a very nice guy and definitively very down-to-earth. Regardless he's been in the world's top-galleries for years and years...

"pure inspiration"
this book is absolutely awesome. comes to show how un-original all the new artists really are, they just reinvent stuff that have been done decades ago, not that there's anything wrong with that. But anyway, it's good to show where it all started and is pure inspiration to new artists, would definately recommend it

"Getting through the walls - a worthwhile purchase"
An insightful look into the life of uber cool Parisian street artist/stencil king Blek le Rat. Great images, many unseen. A must have book for all you urban art afficinados.
