    This book is comprised of snippets (some longer some shorter) about all the UK 82 bands you've ever wanted a little more info about. It's divided into regions, with my favorite being Northern Ireland. Although, if you are interested in punk from Ulster pick up the infinitely superior (though sometimes hard to get hold of It Makes You Want to Spit: The Definitive Guide to Punk in Northern Ireland by Sean O'Neill. As the oral transmission of these stories dies out it's nice to have a handy reference like this.
