This is the first book to explore Banksy's early years and includes many revealing interviews with his contemporaries from the Bristol street art scene as well as many previously unpublished pictures of his early work.

"…a lavishly illustrated and eloquent testimony."   Reuters

"For any fan of Banksy's work this beautifully produced book should become essential reading."     britishhiphop.co.uk

The limited first edition of Children of the Can: 25 Years of Bristol Graffiti features many pieces of work that have never been published before. Author and artist Felix Braun had unrivalled access to Bristol's most influential artists including 3D, Inkie, Nick Walker, Banksy, the TCF crew  and many more. This book is too big to fit through most letterboxes, so you may want to get it delivered to a work address or somewhere where you can catch the postie.

'An absorbing selection of monochrome images…'

Mark Simmons' Bristol work over the last 25 years is an extraordinary collection of images of the city and its people. The book is themed around street scenes, music, protest, faith and people with many shots set in the St Werburgh's and St Paul's areas.  

An epic tale of Boxing, Bordellos and Bristol pluck told in verse and set in the late 18th Century.

"Genius..extraordinary, brilliantly-observed..uproarious and touching."

    Mark Wallis, Historian

"Laugh-out-loud funny..an amazing achievement..a great read and excellent gift material - though much too racy for maiden aunts."

  Lu Hersey, www.26.org

"Hopefully a future British screen writer. Very funny verse written in old speak..it's easier to read, funnier and as deep (after a few reads!) as a Shakespearian comedy. More Please!!" 4/5

  Julian Dreary, www.whsmith.co.uk

Labelled "the most dangerous man in Britain" by the Sunday People in 1984, Class War founder Ian Bone has now produced a book about his days putting the boot into the ruling classes. It isn't subtle, and it isn't any kind of blueprint on how to successfully start a revolution, but it is very funny.

Unsettled is the inspirational autobiography of Big Issue seller and writer, Graham Walker. The book traces Graham’s life from a dysfunctional childhood on a North Bristol council estate to the present day.

It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but more importantly it will change the way in which you view homeless people forever.

"…every house should have one - including the House of Commons and the Lords."     a satisfied customer. 

Mike Manson's extremely witty and beautifully written first novel is set against the background of dole culture in Bristol during the long, hot summer of 1976.
