This is the hardback version. "The first book in this series, Hollywood's Made To Order Punks, gave you insight into The Dead End Kids/Little Tough Guys/East Side Kids and The Bowery Boys. You got to hear inside stories of who they were and what had become of them."In the second book in the series, Hollywood's Made To Order Punks, Part 2, you got to see many 8x10 stills, posters, lobby cards, plus you were able to read more of the back stories about them."Finally in part 3, there are more photographs from the author's extensive collection. Richard Roat aspires to enlighten all his readers with the artistry of this amazing group of entertainers as one turns the pages of this book.
