Why do people stick stickers on walls, rather than paint on them?
Why not have a book on this subject?
The middle classes can put it on their coffee tables to make themselves look cooler.
The Banksy boom rolls on.
The tone of Walde's writing is that of a student newspaper or an artist writing a thesis. A quote at 
random " He recognised that this medium was suitable not only for promoting bands and firms, but 
also an ideal way to introduce oneself." 
Clumsy and informative.
Also gives you a how to guide. Aspiriational teenagers will find this useful.
A few of the pictures are beautiful.
Yes, an interesting (how we hate that word) little book.
