Coffee Table: Disposable

There are a few skateboard art books, skateboard sticker art book, but Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art is arguably the most revered. It's coming from an actual designer/artist, Sean Cliver, rather than a subculture analyst so instantly it gets more kudos. Even the preview gives you a deeper insight than most skate books out there. It's well worth the $20 asking price and a space on the coffee table.

Here are just a couple of the gushing comments made by skate industry legends...

"The book is really, really good—the whole thing just craps quality. Very all inclusive, a lot of it made me feel real small." — Todd Francis, artist for Element Skateboards

“Skateboarding has always been much more than the progression of stunts performed on a skateboard. There is a whole creative mentality behind it all that has influenced our culture. Art being one of them. This book has the most complete look at skateboarding history through the art on decks and the artists behind it all.” — Lance Mountain, pro skater and artist
