Skater, musician, and graphic designer GSD (Garry Scott Davis) is one of the most influential skateboard chroniclers of the modern era.
Through his seminal zine Skate Fate (which he published by hand from 1981 to 1991) GSD uncovered, interviewed, and dissected the icons of skateboarding as no one had before or has since. Now, Garry has collected the best of Skate Fate into one volume that makes the genius of the zine even more obvious.
The Best of Skate Fate is a mega-thick, 320-page, stark black-and-white book bursting with the most crucial content culled from the pages of nearly all 76 issues of this legendary zine. It’s delivered to you fresh from the pre-computer era, when pens, pencils, paper, glue, tape, triangles and T-squares were the tools of the trade. Scanned directly from the original master layouts, it all looks better than ever!
The Best of Skate Fate is available for purchase online now for only $16.95. Click here to buy it now, or wait for the hardcover version which GSD says is coming soon. Follow the jump for all the details.
