Book Reviews of Taking the Train

Book Review: scholarly graffiti
Summary: 3 Stars

This might be one of the only few written things out there trying to bring graffiti as a concept into the scholarly/ academic envrionment. I don't know that they proved anything, but it was a decent attempt. If you are looking for graff books with lots of color pictures, don't buy this book.
