"..[O]ffers a detailed and highly readable exposition of the decade's most prominent crazes and phenomena. They are interested on their own terms, and, perhaps even more importantly, well deserve to be studied closely and reflex to the Depression. Americans gladly turned to, among other things, papers, cartoons, radio, and movies in search of entertainment, minutes or hours of laughter, and optimism in times....Readers taking up this book can (re)discover these and many more interpretations and presentations of popular culture in the 1930s. If it may be put in the style of advertisers: those interested in the Depression years and populuar culture are well advised not to think about it tomorrow but to just do it." - H-Net Reviews
