Take a step back to the fabulous fifties where pop culture exploded as the introduction of mass produced products paved the way to a new beginning.
Not just a book for historians and collectors but a fascinating flashback to the products we might remember our parents or grandparents having, this book includes not only homewares and accessories but also a delve into fifties fashion pieces too.
Packed with over 700 full colour photographs and with each item accompanied by its current estimated value, you might be tempted to take a rummage through the loft to see if you have any hidden treasure of your own!
A comprehensive reference for collectors and a terrific walk down memory lane for the rest of us, Fabulous Fifties – Designs for Modern Living by Sheila Steinberg and Kate Dooner (Schiffer Publishing) is available from Gazelle Book Services now (rrp. £49.99).
