Customer Reviews

A Disappointment
I bought this book sight unseen off Amazon and was immediately disappointed as soon as I opened the cover. I was hoping for a collection of cool designs that would inspire me for my graphic design work. Maybe one third of the designs are quality (at best) the rest are very mediocre. One page has six variations of the same Mickey Mouse T-shirt with different text. WTF! There is a T-shirt with the original M TV logo, one with a Pepsi logo, you get the idea. The book is more of a historical catalog than anything else.

The book also has several interviews with losers who collect T's and have hundreds of them and who provided the shirts featured in the book. Who cares, not me!

Totally PO'd
Some of my vintage Madonna tee shirts are featured in this book. The author Lisa said she'd send me a free book and even a nice picture disc or some other Madonna item to give to me in return for my time and trouble in taking all the pictures I did for this publication. I tried emailing her again, and now the email address is no longer valid. In addition, she lied to me and said the publication was "put on hold"...now I find the book has been published and I have received nothing promised for my time and trouble. If this is the way she and her co-author does business, then I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Totally dishonest in the way she and her co-author created this book. I wonder how many other pictures from other fans of other artists were treated?

TWO WORDS: RIP OFF!!!

Sincerely,

Kelly

A Fun Pop Culture Book.
I really enjoyed this book. The myriad of vintage 70s and 80s tee shirts were very cool to relive and see for the first time. There was even an interview with my buddy Omid in one section of the book featuring classic 80s heavy metal tee shirts!
