Another fantastic Classroom resource - By: E. Heckingbottom, 03 Jun 2007 
I am a Year 6 teacher, &in History we are covering the period from 1948 to the present day. I was short on resources to start with, & was pointedin the direction of these books by one of the parents ... I have to say, the whole series is TERRIFIC!!!
This one took me right back to my early childhood! (I was bornin '64 - so it's great for me!) It also gave the children a terrific idea of what life was like on the '60s. One of their challenges this term has been to produce a 3D dioramain a shoe box - and, as I'm sure you'll imagine, it has been an invaluable research tool for fashions, toys, products & gadgets of the era!
I love it, & hope you do as well!

1960's Scrapbook (a trip down Memory Lane) - By: Mrs S Willis, 19 Oct 2004 I was SO impressed with this book. My family were less so after suffering hours of me shouting "Look at this, i had one of those" & "I'd forgotten all about those, they were brilliant".
I was bornin 63, so some things i didn't remember, such as some of the album covers, the boys toys, cars etc. But having an older sister we recognised things that she had. (Especially the Twiggy cut-out book!)
This is a marvellous bookin many ways. It can provide a talking point with family & friends & my son was able to use it for an art project at school.
I'm eagerly waiting for the 1970's scrapbook (ordered, just waiting for it to arrive).
These books are a must for all nostalgia fans.
PHENOMENOL !!! - By: swinginglondon, 12 Apr 2003 I love nostalgia...especially '60's nostalgia...BUT, so often the books & TV shows produced are thin & disappointing. This book is neither. Every single one of these vast pages is crammed with images of so long ago. It is a feast for the eyes. Nostalgia for the soul.
The tremendous British culture, both pop & otherwise, of the 1960's deserves a book of this quality & calibre, so does anyone who loves & remembers Britainin that incredibly colourful & creative time.
As someone who was a small child then, I especially appreciated the pages dedicated to childhood imagery...the comics, the TV shows, the toys, sweet packaging, a whole page dedicated to ice cream packaging & advertising alone!(ZOOM, Orbit, Fab, even Kinky has not been forgotten)...it's all here & more...
The print, the colour, the presentation is of tremendous quality & generosity. Not a single corner has been cut.
I can't wait to give this book to everyone I know who has even the slightest memory or love for Britainin the '60's.
Three cheers & Bravo! to every single person who was involvedin creating this absolute masterpiece!
