Reviews

The book is a must read for anybody with an interest or involvement in the vintage scene, however, in examining the detail of a subculture through wider themes such as love, emotion, nostalgia and haunting, Holland ensures the book appeals to a wider audience than only those interested in or working on 'vintage'. Holland's attention to methods and methodology also gives this book a varied and widespread appeal. ... this makes for invaluable advice for any future social researcher.
