The biggest events of the 1970s are showcased via Washington Post newspaper articles printed at the time.
A collection of original Washington Post reprints from the 1970s
Personalized with any name, a message and optional embossing
Gold embossed and handbound in a racing green leatherette cover
Ability to emboss your cover for free
12.5” x 15” of tabloid coverage of major events
In 1972, five men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, prompting a political controversy that would become one of the most famous subjects of print news of the Seventies, or indeed any other decade: the Watergate Scandal. Two years later, but still in the wake of the event, Richard Nixon would become the only US President to ever resign from office. The 1970s also saw the end of the Vietnam War, a twenty-year conflict which had seen millions of soldiers and civilians killed.
Two entertainment icons also lost their lives in the 70s: Elvis Presley at the age of 44, and Charlie Chaplin four months later, aged 88. Personalise your Washington Post Decade book with a name and special message, which will be printed in a certificate on the title page. The name will also be embossed in gold on the cover, making this the perfect gift for any budding historian.
How to Personalize the 1970s Decade Book
This edition comes in a green leatherette cover with your recipient’s name embossed in gold as standard. Also add a special message to feature on the book’s title page.
Check your personalisation: accents and other symbols cannot be used unless otherwise stated.

Not only the quality of the product but the superb customer service. The accessibility, the care and promptness I experienced with Yvette is laudable. Thank you Yvette, I am happy you replied to my inquiry. I would use and recommend the company In The Book without hesitation.

If you've seen or used a Haynes car…
If you've seen or used a Haynes car manual, then you'll appreciate the humour im this one!! A great gift for any car person/people, who've just got married or not!!
Well worth it as a present, as it is quite funny......or at least the parts that I quickly read before wrapping it up as a present. It was delivered quickly, within a few days too.

Smaller than a Hayes manual
Lovely book. Only personalised on the front cover & on one page inside.
A smaller size than the original Haynes manual. It’s ok for the money. Nice enough gift

Very good quality
Very good quality, had a very personalised feel.....others have that 'squeezed a name in and it still looked out of place' feel.
Would recommend.
