Maintaining an appreciation for the era, Mott kept hold of precious punk paraphernalia and began a career later in life as a punk historian, hence the book. Delving into iconic imagery, album covers and fashion trends, the book gets elbows deep in the rich history of such a short period and gives the reader the chance to get to grips with the significance of specific articles and extracts.
As a book of few words, the images become the most accurate exploration of punk as a music phenomenon and propagation of DIY come mutinous culture. This first person account surpasses the expendability of its visual items and instead presents a timeless exhibition of the prodigy that was the punk era.
