Great trip down nostlgia road
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A really enjoyable book. This tome provides a unique facet of Life through the years. For anyone born in the fifties or before, it is a trip down memory lane. My only complaint is that more of the menu interiors were not featured. It really makes you long for those days, especially when you see the price of a martini is .30 Cents!
Good reference

As a designer, I consider this a must-have as a visual reference, though incomplete because of it's general lack of interior art. I suspect the cover art is prevalent because of it's appeal to collectors. Well-designed presentation by Jim Heimann. Glad to have it, but I want to see more.
Excellent historical book inspires journey down memory lane!

As the author of "Restaurant China, Identification & Value Guide for Restaurant, Airline, Ship & Railroad Dinnerware, Volume 1 and Volume 2," I was delighted when I received this excellent historical resource. The 1000+ priceless photographs, along with difficult to document dates and locations are most appreciated. In addition, it is a pleasure to simply page through Jim Heimann's books and imagine life as it was in days gone by.
Great Book...

I thought the book was great, but I was hoping it would show more of menu interiors rather than the covers/exteriors. While folks can show you excerpts from text...it's a bit harder when you are buying a book for the images.
