Product Description
Product Description
Miller's Collecting the 1960s is structured thematically; after an introduction and timeline highlighting important events of the decade, it is split into three sections. Homestylefeatures items from furniture, ceramics, and glass, to the latest technology and kicthenware. Fashion covers everything from the space-age designer looks of the early '60s, through to the Hippy style of the "summer of love", plus accessories and menswear. Leisure looks at children's toys, books, television, pop music, and psychedelia. From the chic of Mary Quant and Pierre Cardin to the Beatles, Collecting the 1960s explores the leading trend-setters of the decade through their creations.

Format:Hardcover
Another fine addition to the growing number of books on retro collecting. This one has broad coverage of items and includes interesting electrical collectables which are so often left out of other books. Roll on the issue of Collecting the 1970s!

Format:Hardcover
The photography of this fascinating book is very high quality (even items of furniture like tables are decorated with other 60's paraphenalia like clocks or vases), and there is amusing, informative writing. Lots of pictures, not a huge deal of text. Perhaps not as comprehensive as one might hope, but it features the main design icons of the period, and also other less well-known pieces. My only real complaint is that, though the listing of suppliers in the back is a very sensible and thoughtful touch, almost all the shops and dealers mentioned are in London - but if you have any interest in design, you'll be used to that annoyance anyway! Definitely worth a look, a beautiful book!
Format:Hardcover
As I have recently developed an interest in this era and beyond I found this book a good reference point for this decade.
