This book holds it allBy Melissa @ just one opinionGreat book for any banksy fan not only does it show you each of his art works but it also gives you insight into the area of London and buildings around the art. Its like a map. art and guide book in one. I could imagine myself actually walking around London trying to find each of these locations mentioned.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... was a gift for my daughter and she was happy with itBy MisfitHeather138This book was a gift for my daughter and she was happy with it. My only complaint is that its very small. Not much bigger than a large note card. The pictures are great but the binding makes it difficult to see the entire pictures in some cases (it doesnt lay flat. its a small book but very thick). But theres a ton of art included and if youre a fan of Banksy this is a good addition to your collection.I dont recommend this particular book for anyone who is newly interested in Banksys work bevai2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. So much funBy DKThis book is fun to view. If you like Banksy art or graffiti art in general you will enjoy this tremendously.
