1: GREAT book!! Mind-blowing artwork, and really well researched
I bought this the other day, and I've gotta plug it. I haven't been this stoked with a book in a long time.
The artwork is incredible, that almost goes without saying, and so varied in style that you can't really go wrong - there's something in there for everyone. Almost as impressive though is how well researched and documented everything is. It really is a comprehensive piece of work, and the stories from the riders and artists give a really cool sense of what was going on at the time.
Trust me, go get this book. It's killer.

3: satisfied...
I mostly bought this book for an idea I had for a tattoo. Skateboarding was my life for many years. Now I'm older and I wanted to tribute so many of my best days as a kid through skateboarding in a tattoo sleeve. This book will be a GREAT tool for that!

4: Very good - thorough
Enjoyed this book a lot. Great photos and stories from the folks who were there - focusing on mid to late eighties boards and companies. Interesting read about the industry at that time, when, for folks far removed in the midwest or other areas of the US that weren't Southern California or Florida, these boards simply seemed to appear by magic. Now, we see what was happening behind the scenes at that time.

5: If you were into skating order this
Great book! My wife surprised me with this for Christmas last year, she was out of town on business and found a skateboard shop and asked them for advice, they sold her this. There are photos of old decks that go way back, it really brought back some memories. Best coffee table book ever.
