Thank you all for these lovely comments. Can you believe Times Square had billboards saying, “even if you cough like crazy, Kools still taste fresh as a dairy”?

“The Red Leather Diary” is a light book that doesn’t try to make deep pronouncements on, say, the difference between youth and age. But period details like that one about the Kools sign help to make it memorable.

Thanks for the great review – I might break my long-standing rule (borrowing from the library) and actually BUY this book; I want to read it so badly! I had a little red diary with a lock and gilt-edged pages when I was a young teen, too. I’d give anything to have it (and my subsequent two spiral notebook journals) again today.
