The Sixties will be remembered for mini skirts and mini cars, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, boutiques and discotheques, and England winning the World Cup. But The 1960s Scrapbook also covers much more with its 1400 colourful items. Television gripped the nation with Coronation Street and The Likely Lads, while children were entertained by the Darlecks, Thunderbirds and The Man from Uncle. Twiggy became the fashion icon and the E-type jaguar the motoring aspiration for men. James Bond was the spy to emulate and the space race caught everyones imagination, including a vast range of space toys. There are now ten Scrapbooks in this series covering the Victorian era up to the 1970s plus the Royal Scrapbook. Together they form an invaluable resource of popular culture and lifestyle.

  • Nostalgia Trip at your fingertips

    If you were born in the late 1950's then you must get hold of this book and wallow in nostalgia - toys, household goods, package holidays , ice lollies, sweets, music, pop groups - they are all there. My favourite - a page devoted to sweetie cigarettes - every popular singer/cartoon / TV character had their own sweetie cigarette product - even SOOTY! ( on his packet he is actually smoking a fag - now how does a glove puppet do that ? the 60's - what a time to be alive ! Buy this book and live it all again.

  • Brilliant scrapbook of 1960's memories

    Ideal item to encourage discussion and memories. The book is rather long in height, which may be problematic for some older people to hold, however, using a table or movable trolley can resolve this. The contents are great, bold colourful images which are engaging, there is some small print which those with poor eyesight may need help reading but overall, it is a brilliant scrapbook full of pictures reliving memories to those living during this time, plus giving knowledge to those who were not.
