My wife handed me a bag today while having a big smile on her face that was matched once i saw what she had brought me.. a copy of this. Back a good few years ago we visited a local shop that has everything from games,figures,comics and graphic novels on what had to be international comic book day where one of the free samples was a copy of Hip Hop Family Tres and she’d remembered how absolutely amazed i was and how many friends I’d showed it to and after spotting the new omnibus she couldn’t resist buying it for me. It truly is a modern trip down memory lane when i myself witnessed the birth of Hip Hop from a tiny village in the United Kingdom
Just arrived today! from Amazon and no bent corners thanks to the super thick outside hardcover you used (amazon never uses bubble wrap on books so they typically have bent corners). Anyways congrats man, this is an astounding work of art and hip hop history. I grew up in the 80s with early hip hop so I'm super excited to read this. I want to also note, thanks for not making it prohibitively expensive. Most books this size are priced at twice or even three times the price.
Mines on the way. Pretty excited. This community would know - is there a punk rock version of this book out there? Would love to read up on that as well.
Mine comes today! looking forward to it. My Brother is a big RnB/rAP Fan and he diggs comics So Im sure this will be a big hit under his Tree this Christmas..
Hey Kayfabe fam, I posted this on a couple of other videos but In Thriftworld books as of today 49 books of Hip Hop family tree omnibus is $55.20. Which is the cheapest I found around since early preorder price. Plus I find a bunch of good books that are hard to find. From Frank Miller, Dan Clowes , Darrow . Hope it helps you all.
Beautiful book. Just got it. I wish I would have gotten it when Eddie was alive so you can enjoy the profit. But like he said he still got the profit. So I'm happy. Can't wait to dig in
Mine was delivered a few minutes ago, looks great. Luckily I live close to an Amazon distro center so the book didn't have too long in transit to get banged up. I've never read any of HHFT so I'm excited to tuck in to it!
Ah man, I LOVE book porn like this. The book looks gorgeous, Ed, congrats! Thanks for pointing out all the extra goodies you popped in there, including the clever moving-over of the template in those center pages. Really got my brain going about my next book. (Hand-lettered the original index!! DAMN MAN!!) Thanks for what you do and share with us, guys!
I’ve heard you talk about it for mad long but actually seeing the book 1. It’s GORGEOUS. And 2. It’s clear you’ve got a serious love for hip hop! Ed, what kinda music you listening to these days? I never here y’all talk about hip hop in any other context
I fell behind on the individual volumes so will have to pick this up and read it right through! I'm sure I can find someone who will be interested in volumes 1 and 2. =o)
We’ll miss you, Eddie P.
So sad & tragic. RIP Ed Piskor 😢

My wife on seeing it was more than happy buying it for me at the price it was and knowing how much I’d love it
Mines on its way! Can't wait. Congratulations, Ed.
Glad I ordered this months in advance. Currently it's temporarily out of stock on amazon Canada. Looking forward to seeing this in person!
So glad I jumped on this too, can't wait for mine to show up! Canadians showin up!
I must have been too late for my preorder on amazon canada. Delivery date still pending!
Just ordered my copy right now. Been wanting to read this for a long ass time. Thanks Ed!

Congrats Ed! Mine is on the way :)

Good on you, Ed! Looking forward to getting my copy.
If only Ed knew that 5 months later he would no longer be here. Tragic loss R.I.P.

This book is a masterpiece. RIP Ed. You are legend.
Sadly, now that he’s dead, he’s going to become a billionaire. Hope his family receive some of the money at least.
congrats, Ed!
Rest In Peace Ed.

Looks amazing, mine will come in tomorrow, excited to read it!
Just purchased at my LCS
Gonna be a birthday present.
I was exposed to this in African-American history class. And I wanted it instantly.
Preordered back in march, but amazon pulled a fast one and cancelled my order. Now I gotta wait
I fell behind on the individual volumes so will have to pick this up and read it right through! I'm sure I can find someone who will be interested in volumes 1 and 2. =o)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My Amazon pre-order was postponed to 27… Bummer
Damn Ed! Congrats on the real! I'll try to get it if I can but THANK YOU for your unique contribution to the culture! #HIPHOP50
RIP
