Book Reviews of Mod: A Very British Phenomenon

Book Review: Oversized Book Stuffed With P*I*C*S
Summary: 5 Stars

Until 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. And even though the teenagers in Britain appropriated much of the fashion and music from America, they really turned it into a culture that was contained over there.

The book is filled with photos of Mod guys and Mod bands and there's even ads for nightclubs, clothes, and of course the scooters. I found it interesting to read although some chapters seem to abruptly end, which can confuse the reader. But it's great if you want to learn more about Mods and are nostalgic for the 60s.

Summary of Mod: A Very British Phenomenon

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.
