Shire Publications Classic Candy: America’s Favorite Sweets, 1950–80

I bought this book for my mother, she likes books about vintage/old things and she asked me if I could get this for her, The book is as advertised. Its a really interesting book with lots of classic candies in it, however we were a bit surprised when it came in the mail and it was a very very small book! The photo makes it look like it is a full sized book but in person it is very tiny, probably under half the size of a normal book. But other than that she likes it.

Excellent classic imagery. Nice to slap on the coffee table until guests get bored of seeing it.

とにかくポップで可愛い本です。見るだけでとても楽しくなっちゃいます。キャンディーバーが大好きな方にオススメですよ。

ラベルやシールなどを作りたくて購入しました。中身も表紙のようにたくさんのパッケージが載っているのかなぁ～と期待していましたが、文章が多く、あまりパッケージも載っていませんでした。

So many nostalgia books have terrible graphic design, ugly photos, and boring writing. This isn't one of them! I was delighted to see what care the author had taken to make all the photography and design beautiful. Each photo is also captioned with useful information. The writing is engaging and the stories are told chronologically, helping to weave together the complex histories of these famous candies, most of which have been sold or distributed by more than one company during their history. While it might look small, this book will definitely have photos and information you haven't seen that are sure to bring back many delicious memories.
