**Temporarily out of stock - available to backorder - more stock due approximately March 10**

This is  a series of books about life in Australia – one for each year from 1939. They describe happenings that affected people, real people. The whole series, to coin a modern phrase, is designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten.

The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered.

In 1955, be careful of the demon drink, get your brand new Salk injections against polio, submit your design for the Sydney Opera house now, prime your gelignite for another Redex Trial, and stop your greyhounds killing cats. Princess Margaret shocked the Church, Huxley shocked the Bishops, and our Sundays are far from shocking.

Disappointed

I think there is a lot of information of the time but disappointed that there are no photos. Expensive too. I just hope that my friend appreciates it for her 70th birthday.
