The official printed archive of Palace Skateboards' online product descriptions Since their arrival online, the Palace product descriptions have built a cult following. Full of wit, pathos, social commentary, and unabashed opinion, the descriptions eschew practical details; instead, a hoodie is explained with 'Eat some vegetables, your skin looks bare grey marl'; a T-shirt is '100% Boris you twat'. At once jokey toilet book and earnest coffee-table opus, this funny and honest volume collects more than 3,000 of these reflections, together serving as an essential record of an online phenomenon.
