Remember the 80s by Richard Evans

Doing a bit of research this morning on popular books from the 80's, I came across this book right here: Remember the 80s by Richard Evans. Sure it's not from the 80s. . .but it's about the 80s and that works for me. :)


Here is the synopsis in case anyone else is interested:

Nostalgia for the music, fashion, fads and style of Generation X is booming. Richard Evans presents the best of the decade that brought us Madonna, My Little Pony, Sinclair ZX computers, Margaret Thatcher, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Legwarmers, the Walkman, breakdancing, Knight Rider, Brat Pack movies, the Rubik's cube and countless other cultural icons that changed pop culture for ever. Beautifully illustrated, this ultimate time capsule of a book features new interviews with countless 80s bands and pop acts, it also reviews each year of the 80s; what was going on in music, fashion & fads, current affairs, sport, Film & TV, etc. Real-life memories will also be dotted throughout the book - contributions will come from among the thousands of fans of the author's massively popular 80s website RememberTheEighties.com, as well as many 80s stars.
