Classic Candy: America's Favorite Sweets, 1950-80 Review: Take a Sweet, Wonderful Trip Down Memory Lane......... - In "Classic Candy", Darlene Lacey takes you by the hand and leads you back in time, to revisit and reminisce about the candies from your childhood. At the same time, also giving you great details about the candies' makers and trivia like how one candy was made by accident by an intoxicated worker! The photographs from the wonderfully designed front page right through to the last picture of a Bit-O-Honey bar, were beautifully done, brightly colored and well designed settings to really give you the feel as if the wrapper were right there in front of you. I was very, very please with the amount of detail that you could view in the photographs as I feel that's just an extra added "special touch" to, as I said, recreating the feeling of having the candy right there. The author provides just the right combination of both the historical and the social impact of the candy of the era's, which just aids you in remembering the candies that for most people were an integral part of their childhood. I know I spent a wonderful afternoon reading this book, and then rereading it again in certain favorite spots because I so enjoyed all the memories the narrative and the photos brought out in me. Although I am not a collector, I think any fan of collections of nostalgia would enjoy this book because I think there aren't very many people who can say that candy was not an important part of their life as a child! My sister is a collector and I am definitely buying another copy of this book for her! Even if you aren't a collector, then, like me, I am sure you will enjoy this book immensely not only for the great photos and the wonderful way it's written, but also will enjoy all the other memories that will come back to you that you associate with the candies of your childhood. Review: Fascinating! - Got this book as a gift for my nostalgic older brother! He loved reading about his childhood favorites! Like me, he loves learning facts and trivia! This book scored a home run! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #314,576 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #352 in Gastronomy History (Books) #1,339 in Antiques & Collectibles (Books) #7,328 in United States History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (86) | | Dimensions | 5.8 x 0.3 x 8.2 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0747812438 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0747812432 | | Item Weight | 6 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Shire Library USA | | Print length | 64 pages | | Publication date | May 21, 2013 | | Publisher | Shire Publications | ## Images ![Classic Candy: America's Favorite Sweets, 1950-80 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BexrjiOmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take a Sweet, Wonderful Trip Down Memory Lane......... *by P***S on March 25, 2016* In "Classic Candy", Darlene Lacey takes you by the hand and leads you back in time, to revisit and reminisce about the candies from your childhood.
