… then we mean to tell you this might be best book ever written. God Bless the Spectrum — a commemorative tome celebrating the Spectrum — just hit the streets, and if you’re an old, old person who saves newspapers and has your woodshop lined with old magazine covers and Mummers record albums, then this is your BAG, Grandpa! But we have to admit: We’re curious to check it out, too. With the text penned by Daily News staffers — experts in the field of telling you that someone famous went somewhere once, doncha know — and over 200 photographs, God Bless the Spectrum seems like it’s going to feature lots and lots of awesome hair. Among the 70s-era hairballs featured: Bob Clarke, Bernie Parent, Dr. J, Wilt Chamberlain, Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, Diana Ross, Bruno Sammartino, Led Zeppelin, Bobby Knight, Christian Laettner, Joe Frazier, and Billie Jean King. Did someone really just say Bruno Sammartino? We’re so there. Buy it now at Philly.com’s sad little online book stall.
