The Best Rock T-Shirt Book Hands Down

Accept no imitations--rock tease is the real deal. I had to buy a second copy because mine was getting so worn from use. The pictures are great, the t-shirts are awesome, and it's clear that this sexy book's authors not only know what they're talking about, but treat the whole thing as a labor of love. That said, I love this book, my friends love this book, my neighbors all have copies, and you should too: it's just that good.

Excellent resource and a fun read!

This book is a great resource for the rock t-shirt afficionado and the casual fan alike. Fantastic photos of hundreds of rock's most interesting tees. The text details the t-shirts' designs and surveys the major trends in rock tees from the 1950's through the 1990's. I bought this book for myself and then ordered it for several friends. I highly recommend it for any rock or fashion fan!

love this book!

Whether you're a fan of art, vintage tees, or rock-and-roll, Rock Tease is a cool book for any collection. It's smart and well written, without being pretentious. The authors do a great job of telling the story behind the rise and progression of rock t-shirts with interviews and insider accounts about this iconic and understudied art form. There is a diverse and colorful range of tees featured in this book (chances are you'll find one from your favorite band!), with interesting explanations and side-notes describing the tees on each page. I bought a copy for myself and will be getting a few more to give for gifts!

Very Cool

Very cool. A must have for anybody who loves rock and roll memorabilia and a delight for fans of rock in general. The book takes a funny yet sophisticated look at the history, design and significance of rock t-shirts and even throws in some interviews with the gurus of rock tees. Most important the book is stocked with excellent pictures of the coolest, most bizarre and funkiest rock tees. As the book says "Everything you need to know about rock and roll is writ large on rock T-shirts." And everything you want to know about rock T-shirts is writ large in this book.
