SCOTCH WHISKEO Posted October 25, 2001 Author Share Posted October 25, 2001 This book was co-written by Zephyr and Dondi's older brother Micheal, so the money stays in the family and it's not some outsider's view of "Quaint Ghetto Art" but an actual informed history from folks who were there and got their hands dirty.

Ham One Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 steal this book Originally posted by dwayne wayne dude you shouldn't be racking books like this. the more that are bought means the more that are ordered for the store, which in turn brings more money to those who made the book. Well, actually you're wrong. The publisher doesn't front the bookstore the copies, the bookstore buys it from them. Just like stealing spraypaint, if what you said was true then all the spray paint companies would be out of business, but they still make money, it's just the store that is fucked. When people say you shouldn't steal something as opposed to something else they are being pricks, that would be like only tagging certain buildings because you do not like them. Like if only tagged on shoe stores because I got beat up in front of one, one time. But I tag everything indiscriminately, as it should be with everything...... hamaramadingalingadong....

What about spraypaint, how much of it is actually sold not stolen? They stll carry paint. Book store's everywhere carried steal this book, despite the fact that it was always stolen. hamadelic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Mask Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 well....I went out to get a copy of the new issue of graphotism today, and I ended up spending $90 on graff books. I got a copy of Getting Up (finally!) at the shop where I got graphotism, then while looking in a local bookstore what do I see in the "art" section.....Dondi White: Style Master General. When I bought it the clerk went "that was fast....I just put that out!" I mentioned that I thought it wasnt being released till the 13th and she said they didnt get any notes with the shipment so they put it out. Either way I'm happy...it takes alot to make me want to drop $53 on a graff book...but its delivered so far! fucking amazing! flix...sketches...stories...beautifully put together! you owe it to yourself to do whatever necessary to get yourself a copy!

Guest professor poopatronic Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 ummm ok about the stealing thing... i stole just about every kurt vonnegut book from a large chain bookstore, did they stop carrying them? hell no, they actually have more now. i feel no remorse whatsoever stealing from huge corporations, in fact i feel that i'm doing the world a small favor. and i'm supporting the author as much as i would if i bought it ( don't know why so many people can never grasp this concept), so i dont see what people are getting upset about. i would never even consider stealing from a small business. but really, the bottom line is i like free shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like saying I steal Stephen Spielberg movies all the time and they keep restocking them, so it wont matter if I steal one of the two copies of the cope2 video they just started carrying. You cant apply that across the board. I could give a fuck whether you steal from big companies or not...I've stolen plenty of shit in my life, just dont think it wont have some impact on what they carry in the future. If they make money on it, and people buy it for the most part, it will keep showing up...if most copies get stolen and they dont have a big demand for it...its gone. simple as that. Its all money to them. and the copy of getting up I got just has the blue and red tags in the background with text over it. only type I've ever seen pictures of. I honestly thought it was out of print...when I saw it behind the counter I didnt hesitate to grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
