About the book

War of Words was published in 2010 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of graffiti crew W.O.W. A time capsule printed in newspaper format, matching the character of its subject, it was in great demand: the limited edition of 400 copies found its way around the world and was gone within days. A video stressing the exclusivity of the project helped spread the word.

Then a small leftover stash turned up in the dungeons, and it was combined with a new publication. Why Oh Why covers 2010–2020, following the first twenty years (1989–2010), with previously unpublished material in a folded poster format and a sweet selection of photographs. Why Oh Why x War of Words and the standalone Why Oh Why both come in a numbered envelope.

Those who know, know.
