Our friends at Philly publishing house Quirk Books recently put out a new book called Gig Posters Volume 1: Rock Show Art of the 21st Century. It's a huge collection (the dimensions are about 14 x 11 x 1) of over 700 posters from the archives of GigPosters.com, selected by the website's creator and proprietor, Clay Hayes, who also provides a short introduction. The posters are organized by the artists that created them (if you'd like to see all the posters for a particular band, you can check the index in the back), with each artist represented by a full-page, tear-off poster (each page is perforated for easy removal) that has on its opposite side six more, smaller examples of the artist's work, plus plenty of data on all the posters and the artist, including website, influences, preferred medium/method, and some random remarks from the artist. So yes, the claim that the book has "over 700 posters" is slightly misleading, as there are only 101 full-size posters, but the quality of the art and of the reproductions is so high that you could tear out any or all of those 101 posters, frame them, put them right on your wall, and not feel the least bit embarrassed (well, unless you selected one of the posters that features full frontal nudity; that might be a bit embarrassing if your Mom comes over).
