Nostalgic fun - a great read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's: Collecting the 1970's (Miller's Collecting Series) (Hardcover)
I had no idea this would pay off in an instant but all those things I grew up with in the 1970s - from calculators to clothes - do have a value today! It's real good-value reading - groove-on baby!

Didn't Remember a Lot of It - Lots of British Items,
By Lucy Ricardo "Henna Head" (Wildwood, MO USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miller's Collecting the 1970s (Miller's Collecting Series) (Paperback)
I grew up during the 70's, but did not remember many of these items. I should have realized the book would be that way(mainly British) since I already own the "50's" and "60's" edition, but since the 70's was my decade, I felt I had to get it as well. Disappointed, but still enjoy perusing the pages for the patterns and colors of the 70's.
