This is a treasure-house of graffiti. It is a hilarious book, and a serious one; it is bawdy, and scholarly. From the origins and meanings of inscriptions on Stonehenge to the modern day muck we see in toilets.The book contains 24 pages of photographs and some 50 line-drawings by Tony Evershed sprinkled throughout the book. Graffito was defined by the Shorter Oxford Dictionary as: A drawing or writing scratched on a wall or other surface, as in Pompeii and Rome. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
