Customer Reviews

love it!

I absolutely love this book, great depiction of the 80s...the styles, hair, music, TV, movies, news, etc. People did a great job putting this book together. Nice, full-color pictures and adequate explanations to prompt the memory. Were there things left out? Sure, but overall it's a great overview of what was happening then. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to remember the way it was "in our day."
