kristennd's review against another edition
5.0
Although I was familiar with both the Obey and the Obama campaigns, what actually got my attention and led to buying this book was the Orwell paperback covers that Fairey recently did for Penguin UK. The whole run of black/red political currency posters that are like a cross between Constructivism and William Morris are consistently stunning. The printing quality of the book itself is pretty shoddy, however. By the time I was done reading it, the back cover and the spine had completely come away from the text block. It's an unusually heavy book, but there are ways to accomodate that.

I enjoyed reading about the origins of the Andre the Giant sticker and its evolution. There's a nice amount of text, it doesn't bog down the book. The content is well organized in that it shows the evolution of Fairey's style, yet groups works on similar topics from different points in his career to show their enduring influence.
