March 28, 2009: I absolutely love the 60s, and when I first came across this book, I was so excited to begin to read it. The only issue with this book is that it's not reading material per-se. However, it's completely filled with tons of sixties advertisements, so it's mostly coffee table reading, but it has different ads - from shampoo to sunglasses.

February 15, 2008: This was a great book. easy reading and good quality. I loved to look back on a time when the whole world was experamenting with fashion, design, hair color, and makeup. It was a time when everything went. It was not just about pantyhose and womenswear either, it included all-american ads of mens and childrens products. I loved every page and every ad. wonderfully designed. A fantastic book overall.
