This is a fascinating, worthwhile ethnographic and qualitative study of the choices of "sixties stylers" of Europe... The book will be extremely useful as documentary evidence or counter evidence for other scholars' theoretical positions. As such, it is most beneficial to graduate level and advanced undergraduate readers... A welcome addition to any good research library. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
