There are two reasons why we have created this blog. One reason is that we want to make it easy for those interested in all things Mod to be able to discover the names of books and films that may be of interest to them. The less altruistic reason is that we are hoping that people will tell us about other Mod films and books that we have not heard of ourselves.
As for the lists that we have included we have used a broad definition of Mod. Obviously if we were only to include films and books about Mods the lists would be short and most Mods would be well aware of them. For that reason we have also included books and films that for some reason or another - clothes, music, period, etc. - should be of interest to Mods. As the blog continues, and if its popularity warrants it, we will begin to include more details about some of the films and books listed.
IMPORTANT - These lists will be added to as I become aware of more books and films. So it may be worth revisiting this blog.
