Flashback to 1953 - A Time Traveler's Guide: From the original Time-Traveler Flashback Series of Yearbooks. Celebrating the year 1953-A Thoughtful, ... (A Time-Traveler's Guide - Flashback Series.) Paperback – 4 April 2023

I couldn't believe that the book came so quickly, just in time for my giving it to a friend for her birthday celebration. She enjoyed it immensely, as did her guests, and I think they plan to order more themselves. One suggested she would have her book study group take up each year and discuss the various events and issues that occurred. Great idea - I will have to do that. My friend liked all the ads that portrayed women and how times have changed. And who doesn't remember the World Book Encyclopedia - well, there were some younger generations there who didn't and they entered into the conversation by wanting to know more about the other categories that were presented. My friend's daughter asked if she could take the book to her high school U.S. history class, where they were studying this era next week. She also pointed out that Rosalind Franklin should be mentioned with Watson and Crick for her equal contribution to the double helix structure. And the inter-generational conversation moved to the comparison of prices of various commodities then and now. And who would have known that words like 'digitize', 'global warming', 'UFO', 'flea collar', 'drip-dry', 'skateboard', and 'half-marathon' originated in that year. I am looking forward to the free downloadable gift that will give me much more of these amazing advertisements and intriguing images. And reading more years!

I got this for a Birthday gift and he loved it

Purchased this as a gift for my friend's special Birthday...she loved it...

Used as a Birthday gift. It was interesting but not a big bang gift for a 70th birthday. All black and white pages which I did not expect. Glad we gave another gift as well.

Surprising collection of all the milestones from 1953! Unique just like we are😉enjoyable account of our birth year !
