#1 BEST SELLER - PUNK #1 BEST SELLER - PHOTOJOURNALISM Punk Rocker is the much anticipated sequel to "L. A. Punk Rocker" top author Brenda Perlin's best-selling punk anthology. Here you will find a collection of short stories from those who were there in the early days. Hard core musical anarchists who saw it all, heard it all, did it all - and survived to tell their stories. Along with Brenda and the West Coast punks, Punk Rocker features rebels, writers, commentators and street kids from all over America - talking about the music, the fashion, the attitude, the passion, the lifestyle and, of course, the bands who made it all happen. Meet people who discovered punk's new dawn - and those who were there for its sunset, in the ramshackle mausoleum of the Chelsea Hotel. Backstage, in the clubs, in the gigs, in hotel rooms with the band, on the streets -Brenda was there. She saw it all. And so did her friends. Punk Rocker. If you missed it...what are you waiting for?

Minor re-editing has taken place, as well as a new cover (in symmetry with the sequel, featuring some of the characters featured in both books). Otherwise it is the same book. Keep the original in good nick - it might already be a collector's item ****Forty. Receding pate. Dental problems. Failing marriage. Delinquent son. Psycho boss parachuted in to cut the big earners. A few lost marbles. It hadn't always been like this. He used to be a Face. A Player. A Terrace Celebrity. Now he's just another faceless nobody on the brink of despair in a world he no longer recognises. Yet, one freezing winter's day, a chance meeting with a face from the old days at Notts County changes everything. Especially when there's an intriguing proposition on the table. One he may find difficult to refuse.****Ultra Violence is the thrilling, humourous, nihilistic and sometimes moving story, told partially in flashback, of one man's journey from idealistic young fan to major football hooligan set against the shadow of a grim and soulless middle age in the bustling English city of Nottingham.
