Morrissey – New York Dolls – First Edition 1981
£600.00
A photo-book and fan tribute written by Morrissey before his fame with The Smiths. Published in 1981 by Babylon Books, it reflects his deep admiration for the glam-proto-punk band ‘New York Dolls’.
The book combines photographs, press clippings, and commentary, capturing the Dolls’ flamboyant style and chaotic energy. It reveals Morrissey’s early fascination with outsider glamour and pop mythology—elements that would later shape his own artistic identity. Now scarce, it remains a sought-after cult item among fans and collectors.
A very good copy with two small stains to the covers – no inscriptions – some browning.
