Skate Crazy Amazing Graphics from the Golden Age of Roller Skating

By 1942, there were more than 3,000 roller rinks in America, and more than 10 million people skating. That era is captured in this glorious graphic portrait of the country's Golden Age of roller skating (1939-1959), which also illuminates America's rapidly changing society from the end of the Depression through the wartime '40s to the '50s. This provocative look at a pop-culture phenomenon is lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs of skate rink memorabilia, including promotional stickers, postcards, advertisements, programs, and matchbooks.Brooks, Lou is the author of 'Skate Crazy Amazing Graphics from the Golden Age of Roller Skating' with ISBN 9780762414604 and ISBN 076241460X.
