If you want to start collecting something a little bit off main track and slightly under the radar of most Banksy collectors look no further than his books. Along the way, readers will discover more about the ever-mysterious Banksy—what makes him tick, why he does what he does, and why he ultimately rejects fame in favor of anonymity, setting him apart from many other popular artists.Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity.

Complete with the scarce original dustwrapper, which is lightly creased to the top of the spine and with a light indentation to the top centre of the rear panel.
