For all the mid-century-style crazies: A feast of a book crammed full of colour photographs and informative descriptions to bring the Fifties alive.

Lo and behold, the Fifties is with us again. The boldly imaginative style of that decade is making a comeback in the 21st century. This exuberant book is designed in a typically flashy Fifties style and covers subjects such as product design, graphic design, craft objects, furniture and furnishings, interior design, and architecture and fashion. On every page Fifties originals are compared with Fifty-influenced modern counterparts.
