This review is from: The Way It Was: Nostalgic Tales of Hotrods and Romance (Paperback)

"The way it was" is a delightful recipe for a few hours of fun and reminiscing. If you want to sit back, relax and conjure up nostalgic feelings of the way it was during a cleaner, purer time; and if you have any visions of hot rods and romance, the short stories by Chuck Klein are for you. Very entertaining and well written.
