{"product_id":"9781596300750","title":"Circa 1957 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded: Coming of Age, Girls, Cars and Rock and Roll","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a real \"guys'\" book. Chuck's well known for his expertise and publications on firearm safety as well as his last two books in this genre, \"The Way It Was-Nostalgic Tales of Hotrods and Romance\" and \"The Badge-Stories and Tales from Both Sides of the Law.\" I think a lot of Chuck's Stories are semi-autobiographical history about the journey of a hot-rodding teenager through all kinds of trouble with the law into a long career as a Midwest LEO and a nationally well-known firearms expert. The signature message I got from the book was when the stern Sheriff took the rebellious teen in for a serious talk—and made the point that you either get along, adapt, or face a whole life of friction and unhappiness. The world doesn't adapt to you.Chuck relates the story well of his transition and \"coming of age\" to be a responsible citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"CIRCA 1957 is a true-to-life story of a young man growing up during the days when all young men were enthralled by cars, racing and rock \u0026amp; roll.\" HOT LINE NEWS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Perhaps the best compliment for any novel is that it's worth the time and effort to read . . . a slice of the past brought to the present .. . all of the proper settings of the times.\" OLD CAR NEWS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Klein has done his homework well as he has really captured the feeling of the era.\"STREETSCENE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Captures the true flavors of adolescence in the late '50s.
