Free Mostly True: The West's Most Popular Hobo Graffiti Magazine (Real World) Ebooks To Download
Second Edition! 24 Additional Pages of New Material! Four years after the first book, master railroad and freight tag historian Bill Daniel got the team back together to re-build the whole book with 24 new pages and the rest perfected once again. As Just Seeds said of the first edition, "In the age of endless and vacuous graffiti coffee table books with no written content and no sense of history beyond 1980s NYC subway cars, this is a massive breath of fresh air." Gold.It's possible Bill Daniel is the most inspiring filmmaker of our day. With an impressive filmography that includes work on Craig Baldwin's Sonic Outlaws and as Vanessa Renwick's long-time collaborator, Daniel has crafted a remarkable book to go with his twenty-years-in-the-making Who Is Bozo Texino?—a documentary about modern day hobos, rail workers and a forgotten outsider subculture. It's full of obscure railroad nostalgia—the result of a 25 year obsession with hobo and railworker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hobos and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine.

I bought this a number of years ago..and every-time i look through it i'm grateful i made this decision. It is full of wonderful photographs, and old clippings...a great bit of history for train nerds, or anyone at all interested in the history of the U.S., graffiti, or outsider art. it's all black and white...like most zine collections...but it has it's beauty!
I just got my order in and I'm very happy with this book! It's a must have if you're into the history and culture of freight monikers maybe even if your just into train history.
Great book!!!
My son really liked this....
