### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let's all do whole trains (1 each)
*by J***E on July 1, 2006*

A beautiful book and a great read from start to finish! I particularly enjoyed the parts about early graffiti gangs in New York and the slang they used - DGA: Don't Get Around (someone who is unknown and/or knows nobody). Another great part was the description of the whole train by Lee and the Fabulous 5. Great work fellas. Get up! Somebody say... Get up! Additional to this, I recommend Subway Art by Martha Cooper & Henry Chalfant.
