Editorial Review: Product Description: Here is a large-format, heavily illustrated celebration of all things Mod, from the suits to the scooters, the music to the movies, the riots to the revivals. One of the most durable of youth cults, Mod defined an era and created a lasting impression on the world of fashion. Color and b/w photos. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Oversized Book Stuffed With P*I*C*SUntil reading Terry Rawlings MOD: A VERY BRITISH PHENOMENON I had no idea that mod was such a big youth movement. I just knew about the style from the 80s and the cool 60s look that some kids had in school. Anyway, this book explains pretty much in detail how the Mod movement got started and all that was necessary to be a mod. Mod is short for "modernist" by the way.

A very "British" phenomenon ? The stuffy, pent up, post-war mood and attitudes of British society definitely caused the first teenage "youth cults" to emerge...definitely contributed to the appearance of the "teenager" as an entity and a consumer group...but the British Mods obviously ... Read More Rating: - Great Informative Detail on Mods, Poor Quality of Text and Photos... Not the Best Coffeetable Book QualityMod: A Very British Phenomenon is a comprehensive and authentic source on the mod subculture. Until I recently decided to purchase a book on the topic, I had no idea how hard it was to find quality sources on mod culture. As someone interested in the style and cultural details, I was looking for a book with exhaustive descriptions and photographs. Resources on mod largely seem either low-budget, vague anectdotes or cheesy, sterotypical fluff on the 60s. After checking out the reviews and description of ... Read More Rating: - Coffee Table Book (...)Yes, I admit it....I'm a pop culture junkie!! I love to have books on different scenes I've been interested in. This is a great book on Mod culture. Lots of great picures of sixties mods!! A great guide for the style and music they listened to!! Browse for similar items by category:
