Live It Again 1953: Newest book in series

|
Live It Again 1953 is part of a collection of nostalgia publications and is the fifth book featuring the events of the 1950s. The book includes hundreds of authentic photos, illustrations and cartoons from 1953, with accompanying captions that contain interesting facts and trivia of the time. Television and the movies were major media forces in 1953, as the nation celebrated peace and prosperity on the national front and in cities and towns across the country.
Much of the material in Live It Again comes from issues of The Saturday Evening Post as published in 1953. Many of the images are being reprinted for the first time since they were originally published more than 60 years ago.
The imagery and information provide a historic look at the fashions and styles that defined the culture, along with music, sports and movie stars that provided a pleasant distraction from the challenges of the day. There are also familiar old advertisements, cartoons, images and bits of trivia that trigger memories from America's past.
Barb Sprunger is the book's editor. She joined the DRG editorial team in 1997, working closely with Editor Ken Tate on Good Old Days and Looking Back magazines and the entire nostalgia book series. She has been part of the Live It Again team since the beginning of the series, and in June 2010, became editor of the series.
Each edition in the Live It Again series focuses on a different year as the publishers of Good Old Days recapture one of America's most significant decades -- the decade of the 1950s.
The series is available through the Live It Again website at LiveItAgain.com.
