This lavish pictorial history contains over 150 photographs of the original Mods, celebrating their thrilling and unique way of life.

A great snapshot of one of the most buttoned-up subcultures. Cleancut-looking kids all hopped up on amphetamines dancing to R&B! While the 150 black-and-white photographs are wonderful, the 18-page essay that bookends the images is priceless.
