Thomas Hine's beloved Populuxe is now available in paperback, just as Hine's fabulous new book on the 70's, The Great Funk, hits bookshelves. Populuxe is an entertaining look at America at midcentury, from 1954 to 1964, and covers everything from tailfins and tv dinners to Barbie dolls and fallout shelters. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times wrote "Mr. Hine's text is so lively and informative that Populuxe must surely stand as one of most sprightly cultural histories to come along in a long time."
