i'm a thirteen year old girl who had to use this book for a resourse in a history project for this decade. at first i thought the fifties were very boring and sugar coated. i took what i needed from the book and returned it. i went back to the library a month later for more books and saw this one again. i opened it and saw amazing pictures of athletes, comedians, civil rights activists, tv stars and more. i learned how real the fifties were, and how it changed america. this book is a great coffee table book as well as resourse. get this book as well as the other books in the series before the millenium!!

A Real Treat For Those Remembering The 1950's !
5 Nov 1999
192 pages jam packed with outstanding black and white and color photos of this time many of us remember. Provides an insight of the best of time, icons of the era, living the good life, the Red threat, dream machines, equal rights, TV, sports, entertainment and much, much more. If you remember S & H Green Stamps, Erector Sets, pink Cadillacs, fallout shelters, Sputnik, and dancing Old Gold Packs, you'll appreciate this winner.

Bring back the 50's
30 Sep 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
A complete walk down memory lane. Except for the Red Scare and Atomic War fear, the fifties seem like utopia compared to today. This book is a must have for boomers.
