Fantastic resource! - By: E. Heckingbottom, 03 Jun 2007 
What an amazing selection of pictures of the 1970s! I spent hours pouring over this, reliving the memories of my childhood & teenage years; & my class of 10 & 11 year olds were fascinated to look & see the way things were when their teacher was young!
If you are into scrapbooking, or if you have strong memories of life in the 70s, this is the book you want! it will take you right back, & will remind you of fashions, packaging & even flavours of that era!
Memory Lane - By: , 17 Aug 2005 
What a fantastic trip down memory lane! I bought the 1970's book for my husband's 45th birthday & we spent a brilliant time flicking through & remembering some great sweets & not so great clothes! We enjoyed it so much that I bought the 60's version for a friend's 50th birthday & she was delighted! A book that will be returned to again & again - ours now takes pride of place in the loo!
Getting nearer to yesterday - By: Robin Benson, 27 Nov 2004 Mister Opie's tenth wonderful Scrapbook carries on with the same unique presentation, each themed spread has one big still-life photo filled with packaging & printed matter. The items are carefully arranged so you can get an appreciation of what they looked like & don't be put off because the book has only sixty-two pages, it opens up to spreads twenty-one inches wide by fifteen deep & includes 1400 items in color.
Like the other Scrapbooks what is shown is the everyday stuff that could be found in any British home & as this is the Seventies, one spread is devoted to the change to decimal currency in 1971. The spread for groceries & the one for cleaning & toiletries probably show more than two hundred examples of packaging. Pop music with four spreads is a bit too much though. The list just goes on, fashion, television, cigarette packets, comics, film posters, board games, confectionary, car brochures, footballl, magazine & newspapers & more & more. Every time I look through these Scrapbooks I find something I hadn't noticed before.
If you are interested in what printed matter & packaging was in the average home during the Seventies this book will show you.
