This is a marvelous reminiscence source. Though not as comprehensive as The People's Chronology, edited by James Trager ( LJ 9/1/79), it is more readable and illustrated with many classic photos. The highlights of each decade are reviewed, with vital economic, social, and consumer statistics included. For each year all aspects of life are coveredquotations, fashions, fads, first appearances, etc. Among the entertaining facts: a 1950 poll of librarians rated Moby Dick as one of the most boring books. Although the lack of an index is a drawback, this is a useful purchase for public, school, and academic libraries. Christine Bulson, SUNY at Oneonta Lib.
