The text can get repetitive — each sign painter reminds us that computers and vinyl make for bland signs — but it's a fair and under-appreciated point. There are fun stories and pretty pictures. I wasn't convinced that every artist's signs were actually good, but I didn't need to be, and most of the pictures made me want to open up a taco truck just to get the side painted.

I heard about the documentary on 99% Invisible and I checked out this book when I noticed it on one of our display tables at the library. It's pretty interesting and really beautiful, and I think I might be able to see the movie at this year's Milwaukee Film Festival! Woo!

A good solid read. I never took graphic design in art school (the coursework didn’t appeal, I didn’t need those classes, and the beginning courses were always packed every semester), but if you have an interest in lettering or murals this will appeal to you.
The book is broken up into short interviews with a ton of artwork.
It’s amazing how much these guys and ladies love what they do in a very niche market. They’ve been through a lot. (Those lead paints sound scary and awful!) >.<
