Why read it?
1 author picked End of the Innocence 1964-1965 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I admit, it’s a nostalgic trip, taking us back to a simpler time. Well, it really wasn’t so simple, but that’s how I remember it as a child visiting the best fair ever!
From Ruth's list on the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair.
