At last, the most comprehensive book on London's street art yet published. Following hot on the heels of Prestel's hugely successful London Street Art and London Street Art 2 this volume brings together the very best images from those two books, together with over 80% completely new and stunning material photographed in London right up to the moment of printing in 2009. Home to arguably today's most famous street artist, Banksy, London's al fresco visual culture is vibrant and constantly changing - provocative street art images past and present reflect the creativity of a leading design capital. Through pictures by acclaimed photographer Alex MacNaughton this volume covers all materials and methods, from stencil graffiti, to spray paint and trompe-l'oeil, as well as highlighting the work of the major street artists themselves.

It must be the most annoying book I have had the displeasure to get for a long time!
Pictures, which could have been set fully on one page, are spread over two pages. It led me to nearly beat the book to death as flat as I could, to get a good view and understanding of what the street artist was getting at/drawing. While things I like are thus trashed, ugly bits are left untouched.
What is the point of doing an anthology if the layout ruins the stuff?
Add to that, the fact that every picture is set in a black background, killing most of the colour relations between the 'canvas' and the 'art'!
I nearly sent the book back I was that annoyed!
3 stars only because no reader should have to consider cutting a book in bits just to get an idea of what he is looking at.

Hard to review a book, especially an art book, yes? If you're into the street art scene, this is a nice book to add to your collection.
