Customer Reviews

from a British pop culture fan

This is one of those books that you can dip into time after time and always find something new and fascinating.. It examines a huge range of topics eg advertising, Barbie, baseball, Hippies, Marilyn Monroe,yo-yos, giving historical background and adding interesting follow-up activities such as fan clubs, appreciation societies and places to visit as well as reading lists. The compilers enthusiasm shines through. Pop culture is often trivialised and looked down upon by many but this shows just how vibrant and fascinating it really is. I think most people would have at least one passion, however secret, among the many topics covered here.
