Reads like a giant newspaper, touching on every war, fad, significant scientific and socio-political lurch, with tons and tons of pictures. However it came into CUL's posession, YEAR passed from Ceceila Chutw to Mike Pintozzi in 1998. While the publisher kept offices in Los Angeles, the book itself was printed and bound in Chicago by Lakeside Press, R.R. & Donnelly and Sons Company.
