Reviews
An outstanding selection of hundreds of graffiti from around the world. Though the items are predominantly written, each is accompanied by an excellent photograph and a translation if not in English. Here are but a few that caught my attention: "Society gets the kind of vandalism it deserves", "The people are coming", "A thousand machines could never make a flower" ("Mil maguinas jamas podran hacer una flor"), "Follow the white rabbit". There is enough street wisdom in this book to save the world.
