The best moment in this book is not getting the answer right. It is the pause just afterwards, when somebody says "we had that record" - and then keeps talking.
Five hundred questions about the music, television, films and everyday life of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Not a test. Not a timed round. Just the years your reader actually lived through, printed large enough to read from an armchair. Most trivia books for older adults are ordinary trivia books with a bigger font on the cover. The questions come from a search engine, the answers are crammed in at the back in small grey type, and half of them are about things nobody in the room remembers. A book like that gets opened once. This one was built the other way round. Every question was written from a source and checked against it - the chart, the ratings table, the record book - so the person who was actually there is never told something wrong about their own life.What Makes This One Different- A conversation page closes every decade. No right answers at all. Just things worth asking somebody who was there: what was on the radio in your kitchen, where were you when you heard about the Moon landing, what did your first job pay.
- A "Did You Know?" fact at the foot of every page. The story behind the answer - who else was on the chart that week, what the thing cost when it was new.
- Answers printed in the same size as the questions. Not shrunk to fit. The person checking has the same eyes as the person who answered.
- Three easy choices, never four. And the wrong answers come from the same years, so even a miss brings something back.
- 500 questions in 17 point type, across three chapters: the 1950s, the 1960s and the 1970s
- Music - the records that were number one, from "Mr. Sandman" to "My Sharona"
- Television - what America actually watched, season by season, from Texaco Star Theater to Mork and Mindy
- Films - the biggest picture of the year, and who took home Best Picture
- Everyday life - the first hula hoop, the first credit card, the Walkman, the Happy Meal
- Sport - the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, Ali and Frazier in Manila
- News and firsts - Everest, Sputnik, Telstar, Apollo, the first cash machine
- A parent or grandparent who lit up the last time somebody asked about the old days
- A son or daughter looking for something to do on a visit that is not the television
- Care homes, day centres and activity coordinators who need a group session that works with no setting up
- Anyone who finds ordinary trivia books too small to read and too modern to enjoy
- Two people who want something to do together that nobody has to win
