As sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the swirling tie-dye of memory with Growing Up In The 60s, Cecile Landau’s vivid and personal time capsule of a decade that changed everything. From Beatlemania to bell bottoms, free love to political unrest, Landau captures the chaos, colour, and contradictions of adolescence in one of history’s most radical eras. Through candid anecdotes, cultural snapshots, and the bittersweet haze of nostalgia, this book charts the coming-of-age experience against the backdrop of revolution and rebellion.

It’s not all peace signs and protest songs — this is the ‘60s as lived by real people, warts, wonder, and all. Whether you were there or just wish you had been, Growing Up In The 60s offers a heartfelt, humorous, and occasionally cringe-inducing ride through the decade that wouldn’t grow up quietly.

Now available in a lovingly battered, slightly yellowed edition from Crappy Old Books — because history’s better when it smells like your grandma’s attic.
