Seen on here before but... yeah, in my Sneaker Book library
Not really a "SNEAKER" book, but put out by Adidas Originals so I guess it kinda counts. Very fresh pics:
Pretty cool book on sneaker art:
One of the most INTERESTING books on CLASSIC Vintage kicks. Centers around Basketball culture, but has some GREAT interviews, vintage ads, and TONS of pics:
Just some info for you cats. ENJOY!!

Found this in my local antiquarian book shop, from '81 . The paper is that lovely pulpy kind and pics have the old half tone dots etc.
...
This book is gold!
..last for me today, but probably my favourite Art/Design book: Grammar Of Ornament -Owen Jones. This is the book that Victorian designers like William Morris used as reference.. just
google image it. A victorian encyclopaedia of design.

Benj, that Star Wars one is fucking awesome! Is that a trade or a single issue?

Wow, that Star Wars one takes me back. My brother and I had the GIANT versions of those. Used to tape record ourselves reading from the thing like we were doing a radio dramatization.

Did you just say all of that out loud Mike?

I can only imagine those sessions....great pics guys!

D I think it is trade.. a collection in an annual? But although I did my school work experience in Forbidden Planet, I didn't retain much knowledge.. except the fun had by sticking electronic security stickers to peoples backs.

Ken, they were practically as good as the films. Practically.
The large ones that we had were called "Treasury Sized".

Haven't got it yet mate but flicked through a copy yesterday. I'd say it's worth getting got some interesting collectors, new releases, designers etc and as always great pics. Every issue sells out pretty fast i know No6 have it for £15.00.
