Growing up as a child in the ''80s had its ups and downs - it's perhaps the one decade that, more than any other, begets groans of, ''oh, what were you thinking?'' Those 10 years saw some huge changes - pop music went electronic, yuppies ruled the financial world, and fashion was never the same again. Neither was the car. Yes, despite some four-wheeled disasters, the ''80s still had plenty of cool cars. The petrol heads of the time lusted after Magnum P.I.''s Ferrari 308; they salivated over the Ferrari Daytona and Testarossa from Miami Vice, they watched ''Back to the Future'' in cinemas across the country, mesmerised at the sight of the Doc''s De Lorean (surely the ultimate in customisation?). Other 80s supercars included Porsche''s peerless 911, the original Audi Quattro (a car resurrected on current U.K. television in the show Ashes to Ashes) and the Ford Capri SLE 71R driven by Terry McCann in Minder... the list goes on. Now, 'The Best of Car' takes you back to the days when cars were flash, angular and mean. It''s time to don the shades and head out for a cool cruise down the strip. Flick through the glossy pages of what became the bible for aspiring car enthusiasts in the 80s - the only motoring magazine that reflected the true age of excess, and relive those long-forgotten dreams.

As well as the giants of the decade, such as Queen, Abba and Fleetwood Mac, the book also includes those artists who only flourished briefly.

"When the first issue of British Cosmopolitan went on sale in March 1972, it was a publishing sensation. By lunchtime on the first day it had sold out. Famous for its refreshingly frank approach to sex and relationships, its practical advice on careers and its own brand of accessible feminism, Cosmo went on to become the world's no. 1 women's magazine. This compulsive compilation brings together highlights from Cosmo's archive and offers a fascinating chronicle of women's lives in the decades that style forgot - from burning your bra to how to wear leg warmers. Definitive ads from the '70s and '80s stand alongside Cosmo's own classic features: fabulous fashion spreads, special reader offers, Irma Kurtz's agony column and On the Couch with Tom Crabtree."--Back cover.
