Added text

[edit]

I added text and two ISBN, for the first UK edition and the 25th anniversary edition in the US. Still need the ISBN for the Holt US edition in 1984. I added a BBC Witness History program as a reference. It is an interview with the authors, 40 years after that first publication, with much information on why they published the book in 1984 and the initial sales. I added how the transit authority viewed graffiti on rail cars in that decade, which was not as public art. The transit authority includes public art in its stations, not on the cars. I added an old reference for that, as David L. Gunn was brought in to turn the transit authority around in 1984, and that included elimination of graffiti inside and outside the rail cars, among other tasks. More information is included in the info box now, too. - - Prairieplant (talk) 11:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
