Banksy’s Bristol: Home Sweet Home
Looks like there’s another unofficial Banksy book coming out seen called Banksy’s Bristol: Home Sweet Home. It’s published by Tangent Books and is said to be -
[...] a celebration of Banksy’s street art in his home city of Bristol. This book places him in the context of 3D, John Nation from the Barton Hill Settlement, Inkie, Nick Walker and the other artists and musicians who were instrumental in linking Bristol to the original New York hip hop scene. It is the most revealing account of Banksy’s formative years and contains more than one hundred images of his Bristol art, as well as pictures of Banksy at work, many of which have never been published before.
The official release date is the 1st of Dec 07 but Amazon have it listed for the 19th of Nov and you can pre-order it now. I’ll try and get it reviewed nearer the time but for now you can check out some of the pages over at Ekosystem. [via]
Just wanted to let you know that my understanding is that the book will not be available on amazon but only direct from the publisher’s website to begin with. Tangent Books is a small publisher and can’t afford the cut that Amazon takes (over 60% on every book). Find it here http://www.tangentbooks.co.uk/index.php?pageNo=400
