I know I've featured this before, but there's a new copy of Alan Fletcher's Quadrophenia on eBay – and with just over 2 days to go, it's up there for next to nothing. Specifically, as I write, it's up for £1.04, described as in excellent condition and as you probably […]
Books
Boutique London by Richard Lester
This is something of an advance heads-up as I have just encountered Boutique London A History: King's Road to Carnaby Street by Richard Lester, but details are scarce – as is a cover image. One thing to note though, this has nothing to do with Marnie Fogg's Boutique. Probably no […]

A new glossy illustrated book from a new publishing house, Lifestyle Illustrations of the 60s by Rian Hughes is a new take on an ever popular decade. This book is one of the first titles to be released by Fiell Publishing, the new book enterprise from Charlotte and Peter Fiell. If […]
