1950s British Cars in Colour

This book is aimed at patients with early stage dementia who like reading but find it hard to follow 'normal' books.

It shows 54 full colour pictures of 1950s British cars, with brief technical details (engine size, top speed, original purchase price etc) in 18pt large print.

Studies have shown that 'reminiscence therapy' can be helpful to those with dementia, particularly when they recall the surroundings of their youth and early middle age. This book is intended to help stimulate such memories and when read together with a relative or carer, it can also help promote conversation and social interaction.

The book does not mention dementia or memory loss, or anything that could cause distress or embarrassment to patients.

It can equally be enjoyed by those without memory loss, for example, grandparents reading together with grandchildren.
