RIDGERS, Derek. Skinheads: Photographs 1979 -1984.

(No place): Blurb, 20009. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. The correct first edition of this rare book by Ridgers, offered for sale for a short time only via Blurb before being withdrawn from sale. The volume was eventually published in a slightly different format by Omnibus Press in 2014. The book collects five years of photographs of London skins both in the capital and on trips to nearby seaside towns. The volume includes the ‘skinhead girls’ image used in Morrissey’s 1992 “Your Arsenal” tour as a backdrop and for merchandise. A near fine copy in glossy wrappers, seldom, if ever offered for sale in this true first edition format.
