If you loved Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine as a young baby boomer, this nostalgic look back by the child-at-heart editor, Forrest J Ackerman, will bring back warm memories. Its like sitting with Forry as he goes through the first 50 issues ("the nifty fifty") and reminisces about the contents of each one. Along the way he tells amusing (and sometimes sad) anecdotes about the creation of the magazine in his trademark stream-of-consciousness style, sprinkled lightly with the oddball puns you used to love back in the '60s. Very informative, with a nice photo of each cover, and the full story of how the magazine was founded by publisher James Warren and editor FJA.
