Book of Days:'60s, is a day-by-day look at the important popular-culture moments that made history during the 1960s. If you lived through the 60s, like I did, this book will bring back many fond, and some not so fond, memories. I read one or two entries per day. I enjoyed it so much that I read it twice.
As someone who loves the music and cartoons of the sixties, I was excited to read this “on-this-day” type of book! I was aware of a lot of the names, places, and people, but definitely learned a lot of the decade!
