It happens that we are in contact with the russian guys of the [Objects Book](http://objectsbook.ru), the book about street art in Russia and CIS.
It happens that it’s hard to find in Italy, and so, here’s the first fatbombers-book-review ever. We can read, surprise! (ok, actually, that’s only a pictures book. I start easy).
The pubblication is fresh and professional, as the photos that you see here. It’s an A5 paperback magazine, 64 pages full color, focused mainly on street art. Layout is simple but effective. No frills, really cool: it reminds me that the russian constructivist where the first minimalists. The content is pretty cool, with some mixed artists and a lot of fresh stuff, many surprises. There’s some bad surprises too, the only train page is pure shit and there’s a self-celebrative page with 16 time the same sticker, photographed from the same point of view, in different locations. And the two book reviews in there are obsolete.
Anyway, the overall impression is really positive, as there’s a huge scene in Russia – and growing – and the other russian magazines I read totally suck, compared to this (but even in absolute terms).

It’s on sale (only in russia and CIS I think) for 190 rubli, that’s around 5.50 euros. Definitely worth it.

Then, it happens that I found a digital camera in my easter egg, and my hands are firm and solid after years of bashing the Bishop, waxing the carrot, giving an handshake to russel the love mussel in front of the internet pron, or however you say it in your language.
So, I decided, I’ve all the requisites to bless you with these nice flicks of the book, that I took personally. They’re really different from the “institutional” ones. that’s life.
