Rave Art: Flyers, Invitations and Membership Cards from the Birth of Acid House Clubs and Raves Paperback – September 4, 2018

No backstory, no histories, just some mediocre qualtiy scans of old rave tickets. And of those, a narrow selection. not worth the price of admission.

I was sent the paperback by "accident". Even if the hardcover would have arrived this still would have been a disappointment. The paperback is junk, everything about it screams cheap. Its a shame too because a large, full color, glossy product on heavy paper could have been awesome, instead we have this insult to the 1990's

An essential must for anyone who was at the birth of this rave phenomenon,Chelsea has done an excellent job in reliving some of the most amazing memories of the rave scene that capture the youth of the late 80's/ early 90's with the excellent editorial and the wonderful images of the flyers.- Frankie G

I think RAVE ART might be a little too generous a title for this book. Yes, it does have some of the more graphic and creative design from Pez et al from early 90's but also loads of the somewhat dull to look at early cardboard single colour printed 'invitations' from the early pioneers like Sunrise, Biology, Energy etc.If you were 'there' this book is full of nostalgia and very happy but hazy memories.

I was expecting to get at least a few pages discussing the design of the flyers and how they evolved with time or how designers expressed themselves. All I got is just amateur chatting about every party they went and who was playing there. Only a few weak lines about flyer design and a few about fashion...Cute book cover but weird paper, it got very dirty just from the dust of the table and it wouldn't come off.

I bought this as a present. I had a quick flick through and was quite impressed. There are loads of great pictures with short descriptions giving you a bit of background. It goes back quite far as well.The it's hardback and the pages feel good quality.

Fantastic coffee table book with some amazing flyers,etc from the halcyon days of Rave, got this almost new for an excellent price but its actually worth paying the full price fore this, if your old skool you'll certainly appreciate this.

Great book. No matter how many time you look at it, there something new.
