Customer Reviews

Very insightful, perceptive book to collecting 60's memorabilia.

Lot of fun to see & read including all the many very collectible items, items that I had completely forgotten about. It's truly worth having for anyone interested in that incredible time period of the 60's! As well as a guide for items that certainly will increase steadily in value, which also makes it a good investment guide on items that one no doubt cares about. PEACE!

Best Book on 60's Counterculture Collectibles

This is a well presented historical collection of the 60's counterculture revolution in terms of the "artifacts" that have been collected for many years by this forward thinking individual. For anyone who has lived through the Sixties this book will bring back memories of the era with all the background information that is presented. Any of the younger generation that have interest in this unique era of social change and want to know what it was all about, this book imparts a true feel for the times, thanks to the author--who lived it. The photos are well presented, the book is organized into different categories of collecting, and I recommend reading it if only just for the comprehensive info of an important but little researched subject.
