..........I just had to share these. And you are gonna LOVE these!

3 books:

[img]http://Pipanella.tripod.com/remember.gif[/img] [b]Do You Remember?[/b] Remember The Bionic Woman, Dippity-Do, Pop Rocks, and Peter Frampton? Takes you back to a simpler, tackier, but still sweeter time when lipstick was white instead of black, and the Volkswagen Beetle was a status car. Over 100 images of long-lost pop culture icons from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and even the early 80s (yes, it's already time to get nostalgic about the 80s).

[img]http://Pipanella.tripod.com/remembertv.gif[/img] [b]Do You Remember TV?[/b] Do you remember getting up to change the channels? Can you name the Hollywood Star who appeared most often in the center square? This book pulls together the most vivid television moments of our youth, with over 100 images from the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s. From "Good morning, Angels," to "Goodnight, John-Boy," to the Oscar night streaker to "Oo! Oo! Mr. Kotter!" this tribute to TV's heyday will send you back to the [i]Happy Days[/i] before [i]The World's Most Dangerous Car Chases.[/i]

[img]http://Pipanella.tripod.com/kidstuff.gif[/img] [b]Kid Stuff: Great Toys From Our Childhood[/b] Have you ever wondered if Barbie had a last name? (It's Roberts.) Who invented Lincoln Logs? (John L. Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright.) Why a Wiffle Ball has holes? (So you can throw a curve without throwing your arm.) What makes a Mexican Jumping Bean jump? (There's an actual quarter-inch caterpillar trapped inside.)
Filled with a host of curious facts and little-known anecdotes about the creation and evolution of over forty timeless toys and games, [i]Kid Stuff[/i] is a celebration of classic playthings. Showcasing dozens of childhood favorites that are still popular today, this volume takes readers back to a carefree time when whoopee cushions and sneezing powder were the funniest jokes in the world, the Magic '8' Ball and Etch A Sketch were mysterious, and freedom was the open sidewalk and a candy-apple red Roadmaster tricycle.
Generations of kids have been unable to resist the smell of Crayolas, the feel of Play-Doh, the sight of Mr. Potato Head, or the taste of Pez. Pairing colorful new photographs with playful memorabilia, this delightful book makes it clear why these classic toys and games live on - both in our memories and on the shelves.

Sorry for the long post, but I had to share these with you!! They are WONDERFUL!
