Review Reviews from the Time Traveler's Guide-Flashback series. Bought this for my boyfriend's 60 th birthday. He absolutelyloved reminiscing over what the prices were of things and of specialoccurrences in 1960. We spent hours together reading it... Gave this to my husband for his 50 th birthday and he lovedit. It was fascinating to read about hippie life in the 70s and all the newsarticles which were not boring at all. The advertisement pages were great-cheeky and sexist, but that's how they were back then... ...an easy read, very informative, with slightly larger printwhich is good for the elderly. The pages are not too cluttered, with black andwhite pictures from that time (hence some look worn or faded). The ads andprices of things and other stats are fun to read.
