The Sharper Word: A Mod Anthology

The celebrated former NME scribe and acclaimed biographer of Steve Marriot, The Jam and Oasis - Paolo Hewitt - collects original writings on the peculiarly British cult of Mod. He documents the clothes, music, clubs, drugs and faces behind one of the most misunderstood and enduring cultural movements. Includes hard to find pieces by Tom Wolfe, fashion designer Mary Quant, bestselling novelist Tony Parsons, Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and disgraced Tory grandee Jonathan Aitken.
