Rezensionen

"This is probably the best book on Mod culture so far. ... it is the one with the best academic approach to it and a real understanding of the subculture that goes beyond pure distanced sociological writing and simplifying banalities ... . Highly recommended reading." (Dr. A. Ebert, popcultureshelf.com, February, 2018)
