Days Like Tomorrow Books Recommends

Subba culture fanzine is run by Mark Hynds and continues the grass-roots tradition of punk and mod and related themed zines of the 70s and 80s. Each issue is a compelling insight into music, fashion and associated literature and includes regular interviews with musicians, authors and the creative souls out there trying to make a difference.

Each issue swiftly sells out and there has been a book collective of back issues.

Available issues and more information about the creator and other similar publications etc can be found here and at this link

Out of Time (Paul Davis)

Synopsis:

Jools and her friends are Mods, fanatical about Sixties culture, fashion and music. All they want to do is look sharp, have a good time and dance all night. A bizarre turn of events sets them on a course where they end up on the hit list of a notorious Dublin gangster, who's determined to destroy them all. The decisions she makes could put the ones she loves the most at risk and she may have to choose who lives. Could you? Drugs. Gangsters. Music. Murder. Mods. He's out to kill. She's out of time.

Terry Rawlings is a veteran of music culture based book titles starting from his much-loved Small Faces All Our Yesterdays (1981) through to his books focusing on Brian Jones, the essential Mod Beat reference book and his books on mod itself...and more.

Most of his in-print books can be purchased online at the usual outlets and also ordered from all good and reputable book stores.

A group very close to our hearts at Days Like Tomorrow Books, this amazing colossal hardback document of the Style Council - as told by their fans and associates - not surprisingly quickly sold out. Created by Stuart Deabill, Ian Snowball and Steve Rowland, the book has to be seen to be believed!

The good news is that those who unfortunately missed out on the must-have book of 2021 will soon be getting another chance when it is published in paperback form sometime this summer.

No direct sales link, as yet, but bookmark the site link for future reference and don't miss out this time.
