About This Item
London: Quartet Books, 1978. First printing. Near fine.. First edition of this quasi-anthropological, excruciatingly arch, but nevertheless legendary photobook study of punks: their habitat, dress, and curious manners. Exceptional street photographs of punks, famous and non-famous alike, juxtaposed with comparison images of what Hennessy calls "primitive peoples resplendent in their ritual adornments" (allegedly the inspiration for the project) accompanied by frenzied '70s-journalist commentary and copious quotes from the punks themselves. Scarce. An essential document of UK punk. 10'' x 6''. Original color pictorial wraps. 94 pages. Photographically illustrated throughout. Touches of toning, rubbing, edgewear. Overall clean and sound.
