Brilliant colors, eye-popping designs, luxurious fabrics--all these and more characterize the unforgettable fashion trends of the late 1960s and early 1970s. This was a turbulent, exciting era in our history, and clothing styles clearly reflected the fast-moving, youth-oriented culture we remember now with a sense of awe. Sophisticated or casual, clothing became an expression of personal feelings, ideas, and attitudes. Consumers hungered for bold new looks, and designers--led by Emilio Pucci of Italy--were only too happy to oblige. Using more than 400 color photos and illustrations, this book showcases the wonderful assortment of dresses, blouses, jackets, pants, shoes, and accessories worn by the most stylish of psychedelic era men and women. Pucci's fabulous works take center stage, joined by a kaleidoscopic array of fashions illustrating the influence of Op Art, "flower power," the Eastern world, native-inspired prints, and much more. Author Roseann Ettinger uses her expertise in the vintage clothing field to provide an absorbing look at the history behind these '60s and '70s fashions--looks that are enjoying renewed popularity today. Current values, a bibliography, and an index are all provided. Price: $39.95 |

FARNHAM, ALEXANDER EARLY TOOLS OF NEW JERSEY 190 PP., 11" x 8 1/2 GREAT REG. HISTORY | |
|
Sometimes our focus as collectors seems unduly fixed on the prominent manufacturers who came to dominate the market and whose products are consequently very well known. Many beginning collectors, who naturally gravitate toward Stanley tools because of the large amount of information available, are unaware of the rich history of manufacturing before the scale of production that national distribution made possible had the effect of bringing a sterile homogeneity to those hand tools still being produced. In his masterful historical account of the many specialized toolmakers of Nineteenth Century New Jersey, Alexander Farnham has provided the means for collectors to focus on the distinctive and varied products of literally hundreds of manufacturers. Illustrated with photographs and early advertising and thoroughly indexed, this book carefully examines the many makers of tools of every sort. A superb reference. This book produced a flood of additional information and examples, which are documented in Search For Early New Jersey Toolmakers. Price: $0.00 |

"In 1957, Don Featherstone sculptured the first three-dimensional pink plastic flamingo, thereby making affordable bad taste accessible to the American public"--from Pink Flamingos.This is the tale of a wonderful bird, named by his creator phoenicopteris ruber plasticus; a new avian species, now known to all as "Pink Plastic Flamingo." The more than one hundred pictures and the text in this volume are the result of Featherstone's request that adoring owners of the pink birds send original photographs that demonstrate their affection for phoenicopteris on its 40th birthday in 1997. An overwhelming response included such masterpieces as: "Biker Birds," "What a Pear," "The Wedding Party," "Anyone for Bridge," "Purple Passion," "Beachcombers," and the sweetly romantic "Flamingo Honeymoon."If you're a believer, or even an skeptic, take a look, see for yourself.
