The 1960s saw more social and stylistic change than perhaps any other decade in the 20th century. The new attitude was reflected in everything from designer furniture to the humblest household objects. This book offers a collector's guide to the 1960s.

Miller's Collecting the 1960s is structured thematically; after an introduction and timeline highlighting important events of the decade, it is split into three sections. Homestylefeatures items from furniture, ceramics, and glass, to the latest technology and kicthenware. Fashion covers everything from the space-age designer looks of the early '60s, through to the Hippy style of the "summer of love", plus accessories and menswear. Leisure looks at children's toys, books, television, pop music, and psychedelia. From the chic of Mary Quant and Pierre Cardin to the Beatles, Collecting the 1960s explores the leading trend-setters of the decade through their creations.
