If you are going to buy one book this year it should be Faces of Skateboarding. Faces of Skateboarding was created by Swedish Photographer, Daniel Mansson. Mansson travelled for two years to create this awesome collection of 50 portraits capturing some of the world’s most influential Skateboarders such as Tony Hawk, Danny Way, Jason Lee, Eric Koston, Tom Penny and a bunch of others. The book is 160 pages and is sure to give you some motivation to go skate.
