"I can safely recommend this to young punks looking for some history or old timers who probably will want it just for all the pictures... A really impressive volume that many people will find useful and enjoyable."
- Factsheet Five
"Overall this is a very in-depth study of punk values, and how punk looks out towards the straight world. - I feel it is excellent for understanding punk, especially the highest ideals that it has aspired to obtain."
- Maximum Rocknroll
As the subculture of punk approaches its Twentieth Anniversary, a fairly clear set of ideas (both revolutionary and reactionary) have emerged. This is the first book to give an inside look at the thriving subculture as an important present day movement and a way of life.
"The Philosophy Of Punk" covers topics such as the media's (mis)representation of the movement, skinheads, fanzines, anarchism, homosexuality and environmentalism.
Includes 50+ photos taken by Craig at punk gigs over the last decade.
