A lot of long-ago memories are uncovered here, with over 130 long-forgotten or only half-remembered images and sayings from the fifties, sixties and seventies. Remember the lite brite pegs getting lost in the shag carpeting? Or Dick and Jane and Baby Sally meeting Tom and Susan? There's a picture of Ronald Reagan smoking a Chesterfield, and even a recipe for S'mores! For those who want to check out a particular memory, they even have an index! The book, although not very big, provided a couple hours of quality entertainment.
A trip down memory lane to all the cultural icons of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s like manual typewriters, betamax tapes, tupperware parties, paint by numbers, etch-a-sketch, hoola hoop, Starsky & Hutch (not in the book).
