...a fabulous new book...a wonderful look at the history of the punk movement in the US and in the UK...To me, as a reader, the best thing about this book is all the inside history on the punk movement you won't find anywhere else. If you were a lover of the Ramones, New York Dolls, even the Sex Pistols, this is a must have! I'm sure you'll be fascinated by every page.

This larger-than-life book covers the span of Blondie's larger-than-life career and features scores of interviews, articles, photographs and album reviews. It's also really, really big.

Wow! Beautiful 512 page 'labour of love' book about the gorgeous Debbie Harry and the boys. Tons of unseen photos, interviews, profiles, discography, live and album reviews, etc. Excellent book that this description does not do justice. Really cool.
