Mark Munson and Steve Cardwell Laurence King in association with Harper Design ISBN: 1856693791 Copyright Date: 2004 Review Date: 2005 Since the eighties, stickers have become indelibly linked with skateboarding.

Sean Cliver Concrete Wave Editions Copyright Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 Updated: 4/6/2005 2004 has been a banner year for good skateboard-related books.
