Odd Future fans are probably already counting the days until the release of Golf Wang. Golf Wang is a book filled with photographs, design and writing created entirely by members of the group and their friends.
The book is paperback and contains 196 pages of content. Fans of the group will have a chance to get inside the heads of its members and their closest cohorts to see just what drives the group. Judging by the sample images released by the book's publisher Picturebox, Golf Wang should be an interesting read to say the least. The book drops on November 15th and is selling for a cool $30.
