Review: I don't usually write reviews but this is one of the raddest books I've ever purchased. - This book is written by Sean Cliver who designed skateboard graphics for Powell originally back in 1988 (He designed all the rad Powell graphics in the early 90's. Ray Barbee, Frankie Hill, Bucky Lasek), then went on to work at World Industries, Birdhouse and Hookups. He still designs board graphics in a freelance capacity. Here's a link to a great bio in Slap Magazine. [...] The dude knows really knows how to design and fully understands the over all radness of skateboard graphics, which is evident by this book. Now for the book. It's the best coffee table book you can buy if you skate, used to skate, or like rad skateboard graphics and skateboard history. 368 pages of decks and insight from the 70's through the 90s. It's basically like the history of the skateboard. The quality of the book is top shelf style. Hard bound with a ribbon for saving pages. Printing is really high quality. You can tell that he spent a lot of time on every single page of this book to make sure it was perfect. Each page is fully designed from top to bottom. You won't see a white page with just pictures and words, because he's designed the background of the pages as well with a patina you might see in a really old book. I'm in the graphic t shirt design industry and this book contains pretty much everything that has inspired me to get to where I am today. It's really refreshing to see a book as well written and designed as this, by someone that I can really relate to. Bottom line. Get this book. I would have paid twice the price for it.
Review: Missing memories - I bought this book after picking up a copy of Concrete Wave magazine. There was an interview for the author and a few photos from the book which I found very interesting. When I started skateboarding it was in 1986, and at the height of popularity in my area. Every shop was covered with neon deck designs and day glo plastic parts for sale. I don't remember many (if any) wheels that were natural colored white, everything was bright and loud. Every company stood out, there was no mistake for a Vision board or a G&S, you could even tell the difference from the shapes alone. I never actually had a board from these years, my parents bought me a generic board while my friends all had the skate shop specials. So all I could do is read the Transworld and Thrasher magazines at the super market. Years later, I wanted to buy a reissue board and while searching around I knew there was a few favorites that were missing. The reissue market is mostly Santa Cruz and Powell, with some other brands like a few Vision. After finding this book from reading Concrete Wave, I was amazed at the amount of skateboards I remember and the ones that I didn't. The book is produced on a nice thick cover and each page is very thick, also there is a bit of distressed look to the pages. Each deck is photographed very clearly, and the range of graphics is amazing, I had no ideas there were so many colors to some of the decks or alternate graphics. I think the part that really surprised me was how I could remember so many of the boards and who had them. It also kinda of made me realize that how technical skating has gotten really left behind the unique shapes that defined some of the boards. I just recently bought my first longboard and find it's more fun as their shapes and design are fun since it's different from each other. In closing, if you have any interest in skating history or just interested in the graphics, or even wanting to create your own custom skateboard, this is a great resource. The book covers from the beginning of skateboarding, to about 2007. BTW my favorite skateboard? The Schmitt Stick John Lucreo from 1987.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have book for old school skateboarders and collectors!
*by J***S on September 14, 2023*

I started riding in 1984 and for me this book is pure nostalgia, it’s like checking those old school ads ( Val Surf, Skully Bros, California Cheap Skates) and drooling at the coolest graphics! It’s like having a skateboard collection in a book. If you’re a collector you can use this book as a guide, every picture has info on the brand, rider, model, graphics artist and release year. I also recommends buying the first book (Disposable A History of skateboard Art) and “Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips”.
