Sure, "Radical Rags" is an amazing book, but very few could actually afford, or indeed have the guts, to wear many of the designs it features. This book shows how the look of the '60s trickled down to the middle American masses. Don't be put off by the Sears name--many of the outfits here are divine, and some are downright outlandish. Even the prim suits look fresh and cute. Unlike some other books on vintage clothing from this publisher, this one features actual source photos from the period, so the hair-dos, make-up, accessories and overall look are accurate. The companion volumes on the late '60s and 1950s are equally fab.

Received the book fine, wish the book had even more photos! Whether you survived these clothes like I did, or are too young and are curious, you'll get a kick out of these books. Great for students of fashion and pop culture too.
