5.0 out of 5 stars
A bible to the Mod movment!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mods!: Over 150 Photographs from the Early '60's of the Original Mods! (Paperback)
This book is stuffed with detailed information on the Mod culture of the early 60's. The author goes on and on telling whatever he can on what was going on, how they dressed, what they liked, the drugs, the scooters...everything! That's not all of it. That book contians thousands of black and white photographs of the scene (images of the kids danceing, riding and strutin' themselves across the beaches). This book tells the history of mod from it's humble begings to it's sad end in the mid-sixties. I would recomend this book to anyone who is interested in Mod. I would also suggest viewing the movie "Quadrophenia" for more of an idea of what Mod was.

An aphorism for clean living under difficult circumstances,
This review is from: Mods!: Over 150 Photographs from the Early '60's of the Original Mods! (Paperback)
Well, I used to get mad trying to look cute like them, me and my mates spent hours reading it! I translated it into Italian and photocopied my translation handing it out at the mod meetings held in Rimini each easter. Now I'm past those days but sweet memories still keep coming back.A reportage from the past with fresh and amazing photos, but you'll find that style is not a fashion! Five stars is my rating, but is not an impartial one!
