Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Hardback. No Dustjacket. Small 4to. Copiously illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Swedish text. ISBN: 9175883716 Pages: 160 Publicity (translated) says: Join the nostalgia trip of the ages and bring your memories to life. The best from the 1950s to the 80s is represented here: the 50s with the Biggles, the yo-yo and the string shelf; The 60s with Barbie, cards and tetrapaks; The 70s with Stenmarksm ssa, carpet and mini skis; The 80s with My Little Pony, Nintendo and beaver nylon. Everything you forgot you rememberIt's a lovely little nostalgia trip you go on when you flip through this book, and it's fun for both the older and younger generations. For grandma and grandpa to reminisce about their 50s, and for their grandkids to watch what parents and grandparents enjoyed when they were little. The book also contains period-typical recipes, patterns and craft descriptions But it's not only with delight that I browse through it, but I can't help but get a "it was better before" feeling. It's a bit sad to see games that have been around since the 50s, now all but forgotten. Lace toys, twist, padded jars, put on with plastic bands, etc. I used to do that when I was little in the 80s, but my poor children never got to tinker with plastic bands, for example. If I can just find some plastic bands, we'll try to revive that grandma tradition. It's also a bit sad to think how little valuable toys are these days, there is such a wide range and abundance of stuff that they are not cared for and saved as tenderly as in the old days. About fine.
