Fact 328: When was Wall and Piece first published?


Wall and Piece is a book about Banksy written by Banksy (and yes I have the book) it showcases Banksy's work in an easy to read and understand book from his most famous pieces to the less well-known pieces and it has pictures of animals Banksy spay painted (with animal friendly spray paint used by farmers).
My favourite bit of the book is when Banksy tells us he spray-painted "Designated Grafiti Area" in and around London and people actually believed the sign and thought it was real, despite the sign being misspelt! The book Wall and Piece was originally first published In 2005 (the British Library have a copie).
