"The definitive guide to collecting relics from the decade." Antiques Info Magazine"
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Miller's Collecting the 1970s is structured thematically; after an introduction and timeline highlighting important events of the decade, it is split into three sections. Homestyle features items from furniture, ceramics, and glass, to the latest technology and kicthenware. Fashion covers everything from the nostalgic revival of old prints and patterns, embroidered flares, and platform shoes to punk style, plus the boom in costume jewellery. Leisure looks at toys and dolls, rock and pop, film, and books, covering Happy Days memorabilia, chopper bikes, Bowie, and Clockwork Orange among much else. There is also an international directory of useful addresses of dealers and auction houses, and a bibliography including handy website references. From the shimmering lurex of the disco age to the floral prints of Laura Ashley, Collecting the 1970s explores the leading trend-setters of the decade through their creations.

What a decade !!! This book covers all bases from the glam rock scene to the familiar Homepride Man. Katherine Higgins book is a must for retro collectors and new collectors alike. She writes with first hand experience of the era and not just as someone who has just relied solely on research material. If you ever wondered what your parents ( or even Grandparents !) 1970s goodies are now worth, look no further than this book. Try not to despair on what you may have thrown out but start to scour those car boots for nostalgic bargains. Truly a retro collectors bible ! Groove on Katherine.

What a trip! Full of stuff you've probably still got in your attic. Orange kitchens, plastic furniture and pocket calculators. The memories come flooding back. A great book for sharing with your friends over a drink.

As I am very nostalgic I was very pleased with the book. Looking through the book I was transported back to the 1970s.

A Great Christmas Gift and Excellent for Collectors too!
I bought quite a few of these books as gifts for my siblings one Christmas. It's a trip down memory lane; platform shoes, flares, the first calculators & Chopper bikes. Read more
