The GV ART AND REVIEW BOOK creatively captures the Artistic Genius rendered upon the abandoned building walls and alley ways of Los Angeles, CA by LA's finest Graffiti Artists. The year was 1995 and Urban Hieroglyphics was in full effect. LA style masters blew up the boring monochromatic and beige walls of the city with artistic pride and innovative personal style. Daring and talented young Graffiti Writers represented Los Angeles, West Coast with a dazzling array of Graffiti Art masterpieces..."pieces" for short. Complex wild-style design patterns, roll calls and strung out graphic characters all complimented the innovative, fresh and unique individual letter styles. Graffiti Writers from numerous crews "got up" like at no other time in LA's history. The venues were secondary, whether presented on canvas at Underground Art Galleries, multi-mix installatiions, legal murals or the many back alleys and graffiti yards... the work was hardly academic. "In Los Angeles we have some of the best Artists in the world...if not the best " ---Nerv, Artist.

"The Husband's Textbook: 52 Lesssons" will most likely be purchased by a wife in the hopes that her husband will read it and learn how to become an even better mate. (So, what could it hurt to take a look inside because you can't really judge a book by its cover, can you?) Featuring a compilation of fifty-two short lessons dealing with marital issues that many couples encounter, "The Husband's Textbook" offers a compass, road map, thermometer, and ruler to help a husband gauge where he rates from being "the man of the house" to "in the dog house." And, Wives, before you hand a copy to your guy, feel free to use your highlighters, underlines, circles and/or stars in those areas where you want him to pay particular attention. Becoming a married man is easy but becoming a good husband takes time and requires commitment. This book teaches from long experience how to strengthen and improve your marriage relationship. "If you live long enough, sooner or later something will come along that will hit you hard. How will you react? Will you lie down and give up? Don't do that and don't leave your wife out of the solution. These are times when you really need each other for comfort, support and advice. Make plans to overcome. There is no weakness in asking for help when facing any type of need. We all need each other. Macho can be a weakness, not a strength."
