PUNK!
I'm looking for titles/authors of books that are about the history of the punk lifestyle, not just the music but the movements involved.
It's gonna be a gift for the guy I like, who's really into punk stuff.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a bunch of books more or less related to the punk subculture and some of the types that emerged from it (i.e. goth, emo):
Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
A Punk Manifesto by Greg Graffin
England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond by Jon Savage < This is called "the book" for the history of Punk. Alot of it revolves around the Sex Pistols.
Punk: The Definitive Record of a Revolution by Stephen Colegrave
The Philosophy of Punk by Craig O'Hara < This book talks more about the philosophy than the actual history
From the Velvets to the Voidoids: The Birth of American Punk Rock and From the Velvets to the Voidoids: A Pre-Punk History for a Post-Punk World by Clinton Heylin < This starts getting into American punk
Punk Rock: So What?: The Cultural Legacy of Punk by Roger Sabin > This book is very detailed but directed to a more specific audience (i.e. someone who wants to reference it)
