Read and Destroy

“Read And Destroy the book that is. After years of archiving photos, scanning slides and looking for funding, a hardcover publication about the seminal UK skate magazine from the late ‘80s to mid-‘90s can be in your hands very soon.” - Free Skateboard Magazine“For some 30 years RAD has documented the scene and its vibrant energy through the lens of its photographers.” - U la Repubblica“This interview with Dan Adams explores the process behind making the incredible new Read and Destroy book a reality. Find out more about this epic undertaking and learn about an important piece of British skateboarding history that demands a space on your bookshelf.” - Slam City Skates London“Skateboarding culture had a vibrant, messy energy as it emerged from the underground of the early 1980s and the photographers of Read And Destroy magazine were there to document it.” - Boardsport Source“The Swansea crew has been a big part of UK skate history represented in RAD over its many issues and there was a strong contingent at this event; Tomsk, Greg, Arwyn and of course Skin who was instrumental in much of RAD’s content and history. I recommend getting the Read and Destroy book if you have any interest at all in the UK skate scene, and it’s rich and colourful history.” - OverPlywood
