Illustrated throughout with photographs by Sheila Rock and Derek Hutchins, some of them reproduced in colour Xerox (a still relatively new technology in the UK at the time), featuring more than 18 different models, among them teenager Sadie Frost.

Introductory texts by John Krivine profile BOY (formerly Acme Attractions) and KITSCH-22, who joined forces at his suggestion in 1979, accompanied by photographs of Peter Christopherson and John Harwood's notorious window display in BOY's King's Road shop.

A 6pp. price list catalogues the 49 items offered for sale, including bondage trousers and skirts, Modzart jeans, Anarchy shirt, BOY T-shirt, and a Throbbing Gristle T-shirt 'designed by Genesis P. Orrige' (sic).
