ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This is a fun and joy-filled book celebrating simple nostalgia – every page sends you down that path marked ‘Memory Lane’! More than 180 photographs celebrate things that were everyday, occasions and events that enthralled the nation, and people who captivated popular imagination.

Take a trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne ...

Remember loading up the back of the car and heading away with the family over the summer holidays? Being part of Beatlemania when the group toured in '64? Watching Dennis Lillee deliver a stinging bouncer in World Series Cricket? Or heading to the drive-in on a Saturday night?

Packed with over 180 photographs, Remember When ... is a sugar hit of nostalgia that reminds us of the bits of Australia we loved, the bits we've forgotten, and the unforgettable local identities and landmarks of yesteryear.

'It is a glorious reminder of how things were.'
