Here's a cute little dig at Simon Reynolds' book, plus a mention of a book
I haven't seen yet but sounds good...

from Anne Ishii's favorite books of 2006...
"'Fucked Up and Photocopied' by Bryan Ray Turcotte and Christopher T.
Miller. Created with an attitude that matches the attitude of the subject
matter (hard-core/punk and the art of its flyers). The commentary made me
alternately proud to be into this kind of music and embarrassed that I
would be stuck up about it. Good counterbalance to 'Rip It Up & Start
Again' which only entitled you to be stuck up and inevitably forced pop
music connoisseurs to question its definitive-ness."

Despite all that, it's thanks to this list that I first heard about the
Simon Reynolds book, and the recommendation to buy the brit import because
it had a few more chapters.
