Great Fifties Fotos
I've been a rock'n'roll fan for over 65 years and have never seen such great live action pix of The Treniers. Fantastic!!

Beautiful Ease
Great collection of photos of people having fun who knew how to. It's nostalgic because there was so much less pretension back in the day. Stars were more down to earth. Warm feelings all around. This book captures that relaxed sense of fun beautifully.
