From the back cover text:
"One of the fanatical visitors of Paradiso was Max Natkiel (1943).
While having fun, he became aware of the temporary nature of all this, which he had been partaking in with so much pleasure.
From 1980 onwards he decided to bring his camera along, when going to concerts and other occasions, as if to try and stop time. he was only just in time to capture the end of the first punk-wave and the transition into the eighties, with its diversity of skins, rude boys, rasta's, rockers, mollucans, teds, mods, autonomists, heavy metal hardrockers and once more the punks in their international sub-cultural meeting-centre."
Paperback and features text in English, French and the native Dutch, making it accessible to fans across the globe.
This is a must-have addition to any Punk collection.

Excellent condition. Light yellowing which is normal for a white paperback of this vintage - Also someone has put a skater sticker inside on the title pages to cover over a personal inscription. We photographed this on the rear read and reversed it to see and it seems to be nobody connected to the book and does very little harm to the contents - in fact the cool sticker design some would say enhances it! (See our reversed image as the last photo)
The photographs you see are of the actual book that you will receive.
