1970's Scrapbook [Opie, Robert] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. 1970's Scrapbook Review: Wonderful, dear God did we really dress in such ... - Wonderful, dear God did we really dress in such appalling style..... Many happy memories came flooding back. Thank you for the gift of travel back in time Review: Getting nearer to yesterday - Mister Opie's tenth wonderful Scrapbook carries on with the same unique presentation, each themed spread has one big still-life photo filled with packaging and printed matter. The items are carefully arranged so you can get an appreciation of what they looked like and don't be put off because the book has only sixty-two pages, it opens up to spreads twenty-one inches wide by fifteen deep and includes 1400 items in color. Like the other Scrapbooks what is shown is the everyday stuff that could be found in any British home and as this is the Seventies, one spread is devoted to the change to decimal currency in 1971. The spread for groceries and the one for cleaning and toiletries probably show more than two hundred examples of packaging. Pop music with four spreads is a bit too much though. The list just goes on, fashion, television, cigarette packets, comics, film posters, board games, confectionary, car brochures, football, magazine and newspapers and more and more. Every time I look through these Scrapbooks I find something I hadn't noticed before. If you are interested in what printed matter was in the average British home during the Seventies this book will show you. If you want to know about the others in the series have a look at my Listmania 'Mr Opie and his wonderful scrapbooks' ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.

UK based
If you’re from the UK, this may be great. But in the United States, we don’t get all of the references they made. Returned it.
