First edition

For your consideration is the 1978 First Edition of In the Gutter by Val Hennessy. It was published in May 1978 by Quartet and is arguably the earliest Punk book to claim some sort of educational classification. It’s described as a ‘Sociology’ title though reading it it’s hard to determine how serious that’s intended. The book itself contrasts London street & club photos of various punks with photos of tribal people from an image library and stock punk band photos and claims that while looking at tribal pictures the publishers were struck with the similarity with the punk look. In excellent condition with only minor wear to the covers. No marks of any kind to interior. Shipment via USPS Media Mail for US buyers. I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1998, so bid with confidence. Your item will be securely packed. Please feel free to ask any questions.
