Punk Books A-Z

 Home >> Books  

There are now a million books on Punk / New Wave etc. and everyone appears to have got in on the act. It is now no longer the bands but the photographers and roadies and hangers on. I wait in anticipation for the London Cab Drivers guide to punk " ere I had that Johnny Rotten in the back of me cab once." Some of them are essential reading and some less so. Caveat emptor!
