Not a thing but a great book tying into the age is 1939: The Lost World of the Fair. It's about the 1939 World's Fair in NYC -- which both of my parents went to as children. (My dad still has the pin showing the Tryon and Perisphere.) The book intercuts a fictional (but true-to-life) story with a non-fiction analysis of the zeitgeist of the time -- architecture, social ideas, dreams for the future, etc. Really amazing book.
