Earlier this week we reviewed Jim Chamber’s book, Recollections: A Baby Boomer’s Memories of the Fabulous Fifties.
Jim was so thankful for the review he gave the LLBR more copies of his book!
Since it is the time to be thankful, we’re going to give our readers a chance to win a copy of this outstanding book that looks back at history and at one man’s memories of the 1950s.

I have to admit I haven’t always been a fan of history. And even today I find myself more intrigued by the events our history books left out, or the people of our pasts who are just as important but less celebrated. The fabulous fifties were my parent’s era, not mine. But what attracted me to Jim Chambers’ book was actually two things: the cover and the fact that it’s a personal memoir (although Jim says it’s not!) and not just a historical account.
