5.0 out of 5 stars Wanna be "Tagger"??....Read this book first!!, 21 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Real stories about "REAL" grafitti artists. It could not have been done better! The author, Graig Castleman writes about one of the most respected artists of them all, Lee. Lee's Graffiti years were awsome. The book is great to help the public truly understand the term "Street Art" Any book that can make my own parents believe in my own Graffiti gets 5 stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful as an introduction., 18 April 2009
Castleman gives a good historical introduction to graffiti and it's beginnings, his interviews are with the main writers of the time, such as Lee, and so this is a strong review of how it all started. It is the main text referenced in sociological writing about graffiti, but does not contain much sociological analysis itself. It was an interesting read, but obviously the graffiti scene has changed a lot since it was written! I would recommend it as a starting point for study, or just a read if your interested in the origins of graffiti culture.
