The feedback from a small number of our customers is that they underestimated how simplistic the images would be and the end-user was unhappy with them.ChaptersFashion in the 1940sFashion in the 1950sFashion in the 1960sFashion in the 1970sTrades & ProfessionsThe High StreetSchool DaysIn the Countryside

“Lovely big bright pictures and information my residents really enjoyed the book”

Helpful Report

“Feels like a childrens' book but maybe that is the suitable kind? So difficult to know.”

Helpful Report

“It’s a nice book but was disappointed to see how thin it was (about magazine thickness). Would have been nice as a hardback and possibly more durable given its size.”

“I was very disappointed by this product and am returning it. It's a great idea but the quality isn't good. First of all, it contains many basic grammatical errors, including incorrect use of apostrophes. It's obvious that the services of a professional editor were not used, which is a shame because it could have been edited relatively quickly and inexpensively. It's also very thin for the price. It would have been nice if there were more pictures to colour in, for instance. But another bugbear is the fact that it mentions dementia in large type, both in the introduction and on the back. Not everyone with dementia is aware that they have it – and even if they are, they may not want to be so obviously reminded of it.”
