The inclusion of advertisements from the time was a particularly fun touch, and I appreciate that, for the ones too small for those of us with eyeballs that have been around since 1971 to read easily, the (almost always entertainingly terrible) text was also reproduced below the pictures in a larger font. I'm not sure how it makes me feel to see these ads for bits of technology that were just what everybody needed at the time and have since become obsolete (Fotomat booths! electric typewriters! giant reel-to-reel tape recorders!). I do know how the couple of deeply sexist ads made me feel though. How wonderful to know that if you join the Women's Army Corps they won't actually make you cut your hair, and that, in fact, they regard it as a girl's "patriotic duty to stay looking trim and attractive." The world I was born into, ladies and gentlemen!
Rating: slightly to my surprise, I'm giving this a 3/5 (
