Yesterday I went to the Amsterdam’s presentation of the book All City Writers, in little words all you have to know about forty years of Graffiti in Europe and not only.
Andrea Caputo, the author of this book contacted me a couple of years ago, asking for a contribution. I have to admit I was a bit skeptic, like: “do we need another book about the subject?”.
So far All City Writers is one of the best graffiti book, not only for the contents, which are richness; there’s an incredible work of research behind the pages, but also for the way those contents are presented, in a thoughtful layout, clear and functional.
So, I had to reconsider my initial skepticism, this is a must have book, if you are interested on the subject and either if you just like very well done products.

And of course I had my copy signed by some of the old school Amsterdam’s buddies.

And if you want to know more about All City Writers, there’s a very nice web-site too:

After a year of working with my sister Giovanna on a book about me, we are finally proud to present: “People Think I’M Cool – The Art And Life Of Pane”.
This first edition is in Italian and only in three copies, is just a prototype and I’m looking now for an editor to produce a commercial edition in English.
The book has been built like a biography, the 200 pages contains a lot of images and stories.
Stay tuned for further news about “People Think I’M Coll”.
