Customer Reviews

LIFE never disappoints

In typical fashion, the people of LIFE magazine have put out another incredible book that uses pictures and words to bring to life both the incredible and the normal facets of 20th century America. Pictures often communicate better than words, and this book only reinforces this point. We remember pictures. They stick with us. They pass on stories, and they allow us who now live in the 21st century to experience, in a little way, the past that got us to where we are now.

very detailed
