As more and more Punk tomes cram the shelves, it's books like this, telling of the experiences of ordinary kids miles away from the King's Road, that are proving to be the most interesting and revealing (Shane Baldwin - Record Collector magazine)
Captures the spirit of an era totally spot on; A great read- (Micky Geggus - Cockney Rejects)

It's a great book that gives loads of points of views of the common people who felt part of the movement which gives it a fresh angle from the loads of titles that focus on certain bands or venues. It also covers the different phases of the movement and people reasons for changing from or becoming a punk. Every book of an event spins a tale and somewhere through the middle of it all lies the truth, Tony's book is an important account of the view from the street and the regular “Joes” who joined up - (Pete Weston - Rotherham Punk Rocker and original Rotherham Windmill goer)
It really made me smile and when I finished it, it was a satisfying feeling (Michael Day Sheffield Punk and singer with Sheffield Post-Punk group Tsi-Tsa)
