Review

‘Walks readers through his incredible career and his hundreds of creations that often start in his workshop.’ – The Grand Tourist

‘If you are a fan of Tom Sachs, this is the book to own. And if you aren’t a fan, I definitely suggest at least taking a look. It will give you an appreciation for his work, if not just for the depth and breadth of his practice. His work goes beyond the popular image of him as a DIY god and sneakerhead messiah, and gives an in-depth look into the what and who of "Tom Sachs."’ – Whitehot Magazine
