review 1: It became obvious as I read through Blume's list of things she'd like to bring back that she and I have a different world view. Despite that, if I were to make my own "bring back" list, we'd probably have a number of shared items, e.g. book plates; wax lips; hedge mazes; phone numbers that include exchange names; and morning weddings, to name a few. For my taste, though, Blume included too many people, places, and things that held no interest for me, but will appeal more to her trendy circle of friends in the NYC bubble. Still, a quick read that will bring a few smiles and memories, and will get you thinking of what things you'd like to bring back.
review 2: A fun book of one-paragraph or so long listings of neat "retro" things and bigger than life personali... moreties of yesteryear. More suited as something you read in line at a bank or on short transit commutes (or even the bathroom). The brevity of the entries meant I post-it-noted all the pages with references I want to pursue in greater detail. Thus a good book to discover fun things about history. Most of the entries are about twentieth century things and people, though there is a smattering of Victorian coolness and even a reference or two to really old stuff. less
