Proud to be a Sticker - Adhesive Advertising

I was in a bookshop about 5 years ago and picked up this book, for whatever reason I didn't buy it on the spot. Since that day i've been searching for this book. I didn't know its name, I didn't even really know what it was about. Any bookshop I went in i'd keep my eye out for a book with a brown cover.

A couple of weeks ago I hit the jackpot and found the it in a little bookshop in Brigton.

The book is titled 'Proud to be a Sticker' and its a selection of stickers from some of the biggest streetwear brands in history.

I love the idea of stickers, they are like a document of an era. Its the same with club night flyers.

Some of my favourite from book...























































Some of these stickers stretch back to the early 90's, there's some real history on display.

Looking at this book makes me wish I kept the hundreds of stickers i've received and wasted.

Big shout to Matteo Sola for putting this book together.
