The Great Lost Photographs of Eddie Rocco
WOW!! What an amazing collection! Will be going back again and again. 4 stars instead of 5 because paper and some photo quality not great. But ABSOLUTELY worth having this book on my shelf! Git it!

Great Fifties Fotos
I've been a rock'n'roll fan for over 65 years and have never seen such great live action pix of The Treniers. Fantastic!!

Beautiful Ease
Great collection of photos of people having fun who knew how to. It's nostalgic because there was so much less pretension back in the day. Stars were more down to earth. Warm feelings all around. This book captures that relaxed sense of fun beautifully.
