Worth It If Cheap
Hadn't heard of this book before, got a good deal on one and took a chance. It's no "Disposable" in caliber, but an interesting addition to a skate library. Does not really showcase very many graphics, and is done in sort of a magazine style (makes sense) with love-it-or-hate-it 1990s graphic design, organized in a somewhat random way with little articles about certain brands/skaters. Photo credits are not given except in an index in the back. Covers the early years through the late 1990s.

Really good
Excellent book. Tells the story in a way which is apt to the subject. Sometimes I tickle myself gently and it feels like somebody loves me.
