"This book includes photo and interview highlights from the first eight issues of PEEL, as well as a brief story of the birth of the zine, some never before published images, and some behind the scenes photos.
From the back of the book: Stickers have long been part of the street-art scene, but PEEL is the first magazine dedicated to this aspect of graffiti. Inspired by the wealth of stickers they saw all over New York City when they travelled there from Indianapolis, Indiana, to help with the Sept. 11 clean-up, Dave and Holly Combs have never been able to look at stickers the same. With every issue of PEEL, the couple feature art, and the community around it. Having evolved from a hand-made zine stuffed into plastic bags to a glossy, internationally distributed magazine, this book documents the development of PEEL and sticker culture, as both are intimately linked."
For those who haven't already heard about it its a good read and definitely worth buying, although if your from the uk or this side of the pond it mite be cheaper to buy from a magma book store if there's one near you otherwise order from gorilla mart here: http://peelmagazine.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=302
