Speaking of books, I highly recommend this one- 'Brooklyn Gangs' by Bruce Davidson, it's a photography book & the images are classic!! There's only one thousand copies in the world & I am proud to say I own one!! I brought it when I was 17 'cos I read another book called 'Portrait of a Young Man Drowning' &this was the image on the front cover. I loved it so much I researched the photo and got the book- it cost £80!! 'Portrait of a Young Man Drowning' is also an excellent book by the way.These books represent a culture that no longer exists anymore & if I could choose an era to have lived in as a teenager, it would have been the 1950's- the diners, boys with slick backed hair, tee sleeves rolled up, big shades, horn rimmed glasses etc. The 50's 'image' is iconic!! I love it, see if you do....
Peace.
