I just went & copped this book at Groove Riders in Sherman Oaks. It set me back 55 bucks but when you see the history of a movement that I can say I belonged to it is all worth it. The book chronicles the genesis of the LA graff scene starting in 1983. This is a 445 page book & it only covers the years 83-88, there are 3 more volumes planned. It is rich with vintage pics & it has individual stories told by the writers that made the most impact for that time period....I could go on & on. It is a beautiful piece of work....
