- Diners,
Bowling Alleys, and Trailer Parks: Chasing the American Dream
in the Postwar Consumer Culture - The accessible topics and
interesting prose support strong arguments concerning how marketing
these institutions to newly affluent blue-collar workers shaped
images of ideal middle-class suburban families.
- Blue
Plate Specials: Recipes Your Family & Friends Will Love the
Most--Inspired by Diners Coast-to-Coast - Here's what's on
the menu...stick-to-your-ribs recipes inspired by diners across
the USA. Blue Plate Specials includes regional favorites like
finger-lickin' chicken wings, Cape Cod chowder, jalapeño
cornbread and, the diner standard, savory meatloaf. There are
plenty of desserts from the pie case to round out the meal too.

road. You'll love 'em!
- Station
Wagons - Grab the kids and the picnic basket and load up the
wagon for this colorful salute to the great American family hauler.
Though the book covers American station wagons ranging from "depot
hacks" of the 1920s to today's highly popular SUVs, the emphasis
is on those fantastic automobiles that came into their own during
the '50s and '60s. Some of the cars featured include beautiful
woodys from all manufacturers, the Chevrolet Nomad and Pontiac
Safari sport wagons, rare examples from Packard, the Studebaker
Wagonaire, and the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. The wonderful
images featured in this nostalgic, one-of-a-kind history include
period color photography and print ads, as well as exclusive modern
color photos of lovingly restored wagons.
- American
Diner - While traveling to diners across the U.S., author
Michael Karl Witzel assembled a heaping mound of history and a
plate-full of color photography that celebrates and examines
an American institutions architecture, memorabilia, current restoration
efforts, and role in pop culture.
