Mick Jones, lead guitarist of The Clash, has opened a "guerrilla rock'n'roll public library" in London. Jones has taken 10,000 of his personal items collected over three decades to create the library. Some of the items include a collection of records, pizza boxes from Clash tours, books, camouflage graffiti boots worn by the band on stage, and retro recording equipment.

Visitors will also be encouraged to scan the stickers, fliers, and other archival material in the library and copy them to memory sticks. Not only will fans be able to see relics from this legendary band but may also have an opportunity to see Jones himself, as he will be recording with up-and-coming bands in his studio next door.

Jones said, "It's a very personal collection but I don't want the library to be only for Clash fans. I hope it can be a resource and spark people's imaginations, create an idea of continual creativity.” The library will be open through the 25th of August and is free of charge.
