Costume in Context - The 1960s and 1970s

The coolest books come from ETG Book Cafe in Staten Island.  I've always enjoyed their fashion books and recently, I found "Costume in Context - The 1960s and 1970s" by Jennifer Ruby.  The author follows and defines fashion and costume by following a fictitious family through the years.  The drawings are in black and white and in color and show a range of styles from work clothing to country living, dressy to casual, maxi to mini, and even includes a punk page!

I got such a kick out of it.  I remember wearing some of the looks in my younger days.  It brought back good memories :)  Thanks Everet to passing it on to me.
