Biased review, as I'm one of the artists in this book. The first book, The Art of Rock, was my Bible when I was a kid, & introduced me to artists who'd become personal heroes of my career; Stanley Mouse, Shawn Kerri, & Rick Griffin. I'd stay up all night getting baked & stealing all I could from that book. A group of poster artists came together in Philly for a monster poster show called Artifacts of the Improbable, including live music at the Trocadero. I heard that author Grushkin was going to...
A feast for the eyes. A hell of a coffee table book.
Narrates the story of one of the most original and amazing genres in music; rock n' roll. It's very descriptive about dates, people and concerts. A very underrated book.

I absolutely love this book! Yeah, there's technically not much to "read," but who cares? It's packed with some of the most eye-catching imagery you'll ever see, and that's exactly the point. It's probably the most worn coffee table book I own. The dust cover on it was already torn and tattered when I found the book in the store from all the previous customers who obviously couldn't resist it either. I didn't even care, because the book was still in good shape, and I had to have it all to myself...
I borrowed this book to use in my uni work, and I loved it. Not a book full of textual reading as the majority was imagery, but the text parts provided some lovely insights into the designers works and the techniques/genres on show. The images are stunning and I was spoilt for choice for material to use. I couldn't put the book down once I'd started reading as I was constantly scanning the pages in appreciation of the poster designs. Brilliant collection.
If you're a fan of poster art, this is the book for you! Nearly 500 pages of nearly every band you can think of, from Green Day to Electric Frankenstein. Beautiful large coffee-table book, with big, beautiful, color graphics. If you're a fan of this form or art, you'll find more than one page you'll consider framing.
Huge coffeetable book. Wasn't as balanced as I thought I'd be. Think it focuses on posters created in the late 90's early 00's; much more recent poster art is vastly diverse. Nice glossy reprints, though.
Pretty awesome book if you're into poster art.
favorite of Nicco's
I love this book! Some of my friends were in this book. This was really the first book that melded together the second wave of screenprinting and gigposters.
i love this book because is very very good for that moments when you are boring
Visual overload! Raw talent with color explosion!
Biased as I'm one of the artists in the book, but it's comprehensive and full of gigposter goodness.
Rock art a good book for fans of this genre of music
whenever i start a new design project i flip through this thing first - for inspiration
This book makes me want to buy all of the music posters in existence.
the sweetest part of this book was coming across a poster from a show I was at in athens years ago.
I love this rich visual book and frequently page through it.
$70 but worth it.
