I like a few others like picking up the odd Art related book or catalogue. Thought we could do with a thread to highlight to others if we find anything which we may think of interest to others here  First up I just spotted these... Signed copies to which is always a bonus. drawingroom.org.uk/shop/category/booksAttachments:

Not an art book, but a show catalogue: Remi Rough and John "Crash" Matos - "Flow" exhibition (2014), 42 pages, size 18x24 cm, numbered edt. of 100, signed by both artists, price: 12 Pounds + 7,50 Pounds delivery in the UK or 10,50 Pounds delivery worldwide. I got it some weeks ago and it's great. And again, it's signed and you cannot beat that price. 29 catalogues in stock at the moment. shop.remirough.com/collections/frontpage/products/flow-catalogue |

I have a little collection of art books going on i do love a good read and to learn more about some of the artist's whose work i like. Banksy - Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall
- Existencilism
- Cut it Out
- Wall and Piece
Shepard Fairey- Mayday
- Obey: Supply & Demand
PennyD*Face- The Art of D*Face: One Man & His Dog
Blek- Getting Through the Walls
Other- Banksy. You are an Acceptable Level of Threat and If You Were Not You Would Know About it
- The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti
- Untitled I: Street Art in the Counter Culture
- Street Art: The Best Urban Art from Around the World
Would love to get some more that would appeal, looking at getting some of Faile's books but any recommendations would be great, all the above are great additions in my mind to anybodies book collection. |

I found the book "Seven Years with Banksy" to be extremely entertaining. It's not the typical biography - It's more the story of one man's friendship with an up-an-coming artist. It's small - you can read it in a couple of hours, but definitely recommend to any Banksy fan |

Got a few books on art across genres. The best one I own and have seen that covers street/urban art is Beyond the Street. Cracking book, would thoroughly recommend it shop.gestalten.com/beyond-the-street.html |

I do love a good look into the processes of the artists as well, seeing as i do my own bits it is always nice to see how other people work and what materials they recommend and such, i am all for sharing the knowledge aha. |

for Warhol fans - I just read "Reading Warhol". It mainly covers his pre-screen print days, when he was making a living as an illustrator. Highly recommended

Will Barras has just released his first monograph called 'Yeah Man'. It's hard back, 220 full colour pages and the pre-orders came signed and with a very nice original drawing:.   |
