Eating a hot jam doughnut from theAmerican Doughnut Kitchen van at the Queen Vic markets? If you answered yes toany of these questions, chances are you are part of the Melbourne Baby Boomergeneration. Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne as hetransports us back in time to a Melbourne that has long since disappeared, thestreets and buildings, the personalities and landmarks, the traditions and thetimes.

'Each photograph in this wonderful collection powerfully evokes half-remembered truths, half-faded yearnings, at the same time tempting us with a honeysweet nostalgia for places and times that can never be found again.' - Steve Vizard
