Publisher's Synopsis

If the style aeal of Fifties Teds and Sixties hiies depends heavily upon nostalgia, Mods - always the essence of cool - looked hip from the start. Terry Rawlings' book perfectly captures the look and soul of Mod. Tracing its roots back to London's Soho of the Forties, he unearths every impulse and expression of the only surviving British youth movement that can be looked back on "without embarassment".
