It's Great
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2021
I have an original of this from when it was first published. I bought this copy for a younger colleague/friend who I worked with. He is a music producer and I hope he likes it (a gift for him when i left the company). I love my copy, I haven't read enough of it though. I particularly like the item about Marilyn the 80's artist. This book has funny little era defining chunks you can dip in and out of. It's good fun, containing lovely little cultural moments.
