Condition: Very Good. New York: Praeger Publishers / Alskog Book, 1974. First Edition, Wrapper Issue. Large quarto; publisher's color photo-illustrated card wrappers; [80]pp. color photographs with [16]pp. text insert printed on pale tan stock. Wear to wrapper margins, chip at spine foot, faint surface scratches, else Very Good, internally clean and sound. Bookplate signed by Mailer laid in. Photographic/anthropological/journalistic examination of the meteoric rise of graffiti affecting the New York City subway system in an era when almost no car was unaffected. Mailer's on-the-ground approach provides a sympathetic up-close portrait of the taggers: "A-I is talking to CAY 161. That is the famous Cay from 161 Street, there at the beginning with TAKI 183 and JUNIOR 161, as famous in the world of wall and subway graffiti as Giotto may have been when his name first circulated through the circuits of those workshops which led from Masaccio through Piero della Francesco." Of course then-Mayor of New York John Lindsay was not of the same mind, having declared the first (fruitless) war on graffiti in 1972.

First Edition
First UK edition, cloth issue. First UK edition, cloth issue. (Does not feature the names of the various graffiti artists or publication info; uncertain priority relative to the more common softcover British edition.) Bound in publisher's navy boards. Fine in original dust jacket with sunned spine panel and light shelf wear, else Fine. Rare. Color photographs of subway graffiti in the early '70s, when the idea of graffiti as a form of popular art form was still in its infancy. An urban crime wave was helping to finish off the already crushed idealism of the hippie era and greenlight the way for the backlash culture of the '70s and '80s epitomized by figures like Charles Bronson's vigilante in Death Wish and Ronald Reagan. Features a 16 page bicolumnar essay by acclaimed novelist Norman Mailer, "The Faith of Graffiti." That was the title the book was published under in the US.
