What a great book! Dan Epstein has collected the most popular fads, fashions, celebs, TV shows, movies, etc. in American culture and compiled them in this gorgeous 250+ pags book. Featuring info on conceivably every piece of pop culture, this book has great pictures and wonderful tidbits. I personally tested this book by looking for some of the most obscure things I could think of in pop culture and lo and behold there they were! Although more info and pics on 1900-1945 would have been nice, in all this book in an indespensible guide to the things you thought you'd see again!

The best thing about this book is that the chapters are broken down into decades, has great color photos and is a big hardcover book. The writing is to the point and gives you the information you need/want to know, without going overboard.

As another reviewed mentioned, this book would have been more enjoyable if presented as more of a history instead of the political point of view that it is. The book should be presented less as a "history" and more of an "editorial opinion." That said, if you can ignore all that, it is a fun run through the topical points of each year.

A facinating look back at the pop influences of the last century. A wonderful assortment of pictures and stories that shaped all of our lives.

A wonderful book about the pop influences (Movies, TV, Music, Books, Magazines) of the 20th Century. Great pictures and Stories. If you want to remember the last century, !This is the Book !
