Review
'...what makes this book stand out from all the others is that it has quotes and stories from 15 or so graffiti artists who regularly risk prison to break into train yards at night for their art' --The Independent, 30 April 2010
'In my opinion this is the best release from Prestel yet, I liked some others like the 'Piece Book' but LONDON BURNERS content wise smashes it! A book full of tubes, Whole cars, runners and some interesting yard stories from the likes of Boms, Crel, Moa, Chino, Hold and Acab the quality is high!' --Wordplay Magazine, 04 May 2010
'...to make a book that is 100% London trains and fill it with photos that haven't been all over the internet or in other books or mags is an achievement...If you were to count the number of people that could do such a book on your fingers and toes you probably wouldn't need to take both your socks off. Basically if you like London styles and like seeing painted trains this is the book for you.' --Hurt You Bad, May 2010

Product Description
Some of the most outrageous graffiti art in the world barrels through the city of London in a blur of colour. These moving canvases and the people who create the dubs or burners are the subject of an electrifying collection of images by photographer Jete Swami. As a teenager, he hung out in sidings and soon learned to paint trains, all the while taking photos and filming his friends which he continues to do today. In revealing interviews with the photographer, these artists speak out about the joys and dangers of bombing and burning their tags, throw-ups and pieces on to London transport. In addition to vibrant reproductions of the works themselves are shots of the artists as they work under cover of night or scramble to avoid arrest. A unique collection of London's most dazzling high-speed train art, London Burners captures the intensity of this most urban of artistic expressions.

I was really looking forward to getting this book. When I heard that finally a book on London Graff was being released, Imagine my disapointment when it arrived. London Burners, I don't think so, this book solely concentrates on basically one crew and for me their not that great a crew either. If your a fan of this crew then all well and good, but if your expecting a book on London Graff then just walk on by, as there's nothing to see here.
