From the campaign trail to the rock tour, Button Power collects a people’s history of American culture told through the pin-back button. Lively commentary from two of America’s foremost button experts shows how the small but powerful button reveals the events and movements that outraged, amused, and inspired us over time, from the solo flight of Charles Lindbergh to the Black Power movement.

Artists, athletes, actors, politicians, punk and pop musicians, and mascots of the past 125 years make cameos, including Rube Goldberg, Muhammad Ali, the Ramones, Shirley Chisholm, Maratona the Snake Handler, and Ray Stevens, singer of “The Streak.” The first book of its kind, Button Power is a rich visual feast. Each colorful spread chronicles defining moments in history through colorful photographs and artifacts. This collection will be an essential pick for fans of pop culture, visual culture, and design.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bro, I love<\/em> buttons. I borrowed this one from the library but I may end up buying the book for my collection. Two big collectors of buttons made this book and I am delighted <\/em>to see these highlights from their collection (Some of which I am seeing for the second time, lmao). Maybe I might finally finish my zine about buttons after this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
