I was lucky enough to recently receive a review copy of Quirk Books' Gig Posters Volume 2 by Clay Hayes. What an awesome book! It's huge, first of all, and loaded full of amazing posters for music shows. I personally love music posters - I grew up in the era of record albums and would spend hours looking at the sleeves and the liner notes. There was plenty of room for art and there were always all sorts of cool things inside. Music posters are, to me, right along the same line.
The book is sorted by the artists who created the posters, with assorted small pictures and a full page spread of some of their work. There are descriptions of the posters from how they were made to how the ideas for the designs came about.
The best part of the book? All of the full size posters are perforated so you can remove them from the book, frame them and hang them on your wall! Now my only problem is finding enough wall space.

That's cool.
That looks like a fun book. I like that the posters are perforated so they can be hung on the wall!
Looks like an awesome book. I used to follow a few different Tumblr poster blogs, and they always had great art too.
