For some Mod means a way of life: London clubs and Lambrettas,
cigarettes and speed. For others it's clothes: trim suits, sunglasses
and loafers. Combining style savvy with cultural anthropology, this
guide to the many aspects of Mods takes an alphabetical approach to the
most enduring of youth cults. Beginning with A bout de souffle and
ending with Zoot Money, authors and Mod experts Paolo Hewitt and Mark
Baxter touch on every facet of the fad. Entries such as Eel Pie Island,
Otis Redding, Mary Quant, and Ready Steady Go give intriguing background
information, history and facts, while colourful illustrations bring Mod
style to life. Style hounds, pop music fans, and Anglophiles of all
ages will be entertained and inspired by this book that proves that,
while 'mod'-ernism has gone through several phases, it's never gone out
of style.
