Do you remember the clink of a milk bottle on the porch step? The whir of a rotary dial? The purple smell of a fresh worksheet, still warm from the machine?

Do You Remember This? is a collection of fifty true, short stories about the everyday objects, rituals, and errands that shaped American life in the twentieth century: the five-and-dime, the soda fountain, the TV tray, the party line, the mailbox flag, and dozens more. Each chapter tells the real history behind one familiar thing: who invented it, why, and how it quietly disappeared; then closes with a simple question meant to be read aloud and talked over.
