PHENOMENAL SURPRISE!

Imagine you lost a priceless keepsake and someone showed up at your door with it. That's how I felt when I saw this book on the last call table, all the way in the back of the juniors section, with all the other Christmas leftovers. Priceless! Whether you're a Hip Hop geek, photographer, or scholar, this book is a must have. Gave ONE as a gift to a Hip Hop scholar who doesn't accept gifts...and he beamed all over when he realized what it was.

It's a very large book

Weighs 18 lbs, crafted well. It's a conversation piece, huge book for display on a coffee/cocktail table perhaps. The contents are extremely interesting scanning back to fairly current hip hop artists, lot of photos. It's a good gift for 25 rap/hip hop person or the younger person who knows the oldies artists.
