Mr Alan Fletcher, thank you.
I 'am' a mod from the 60's born in Beeston, Notts.
Reading your books now for the 5th or 6th time it all floods back, I see myself walking (swaggering)through the streets of Nottingham heading for the Dungeon or the Boat clubs in my bespoke shirt, tailored Pierre Cardin suit and fitted coat.
It is a fasinating read, well put together and a must for mods young and old (not that 'we' get old). It gives a true insight to the period and our lifestyle.
Well done Alan, please give us more.

What a fantastic read these 3 books are. After reading them I wrote to Alan asking if there would be more.
If you were a mod in the 60's and especially if you are from Nottingham then these books are a must have, you will NOT be disappointed.
I still have a Vespa scooter, I still have a parka and I still have the music...what I don't have is the youth!!!
This is as good as it gets (and that's saying quite a bit!) January 6, 2006

Alan Fletcher's undisputed mod credentials aside, if you have a true abiding interest in (or even an overwhelming unhealthy obsession for) the 1960s mod scene, this set will blow the gaskets off you GT200.Alan Fletcher's detail-oriented, unassuming style is just what we need amidst the day-glo second-hand hype from all quarters. These books show the authentic, gritty side of the English mod scene, while in the process weaving an exciting (OK, I'll say it: ROMANTIC) story. In the process he blasts certain style stereotypes and reconfirms others so strongly they may as well have been blasted away too. In sum, this set is indispensible to mods.

I read these three books when I came across them in paperback form some time ago. The storyline in each is unique and is cleverly linked into the other books. Alan Fletcher clearly knows what he's talking about and this shows in these excellent Mod novels. An accurate description of a Modernist life in the early/mid 60's. Well worth the money.
