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; these include bondage trousers and skirts, Modzart jeans, Anarchy shirt, BOY T-shirt, and a Throbbing Gristle T-shirt ‘designed by Genesis P. Orrige’ (sic) “featuring Gary Gilmore during his last moments”.
