we will never reach a solid state where everyone is in agreement on things, but we need to criticize content as much as contribute it. and i stand by my assessment of these books (that were first recommended, not negatively reviewed...) as a complete waste of paper and money. a book like this is either for people who just want a biiig fucking book - with a biiig fucking brand on it - on their coffee table to show everyone that they are down with fashion, or marketed to take advantage of people who have a genuine interest but not yet enough experience to see a product like this for what it is, i.e. junk.
there are less obviously bad and more interesting things we could be debating (such as A Magazine or whatever); just because something says comme des garcons on the cover doesn't mean it's worth mentioning here. at least i don't think so.
but ok, i DO tend towards hyperbole at times, i admit to that. i find it clarifies one's position - like you clarify yours by saying that sz is "not a museum", for instance...
