Girl, buy it! After a Pictorial article on catalog fashion I bought the 1979 Sears Wishbook on Ebay and it was a total Hot Tub Time Machine. I can’t even describe it. Get your credit card ready. Go! Read more

I was mesmerized by the bright red and white Betty Crocker Cookbook, which I remember clearly gave homemaker advice such as lying down on the kitchen floor for a 10-minute nap when you became exhausted from chores.
