    Quality book production, photography, design, and editorial. Although seeing the actual show at the Met with the great punk soundtrack playing in the background and the recreated CBGB bathroom was better!

    This great book by Andrew Bolton is the only book on PUNK that you need to buy this year!..The inclusion of Wayne County
    (who is now Jayne County) is worth the price of admission alone... this is in association with the current PUNK COSTUMES

    A restrained, high quality selection of vintage images juxtaposed with the couture that's been inspired by punk.

    Book package overall is exquisite - and a value at the price being charged for this size 'coffee table' book.

    A perfect book for anyone who is a real punk rock fan or just a general Rock and roll fan. I major in fashion design and I'm really into rock music so this book was the best of both worlds for me. I truly learned alot.

    パンクの歴史を振り返る。パンクの精神を振り返る。
    客観的史実と主観的観点で編纂された貴重な展覧会の図録。
    こうしてカタチに残してくれることで、後世に伝えることができるのはとても嬉しい。

    パンクとは？

    その発祥と、そこから綿々と引き継がれる「パンク」の真髄が見られる一冊。
