Bowlarama brings back—in living color—all the excitement in its lavishly illustrated pages, packed with vintage photographs, exciting ephemera, and detailed hand-drawn architectural renderings that capture all the optimism, enthusiasm, and joie de vivre of the era AWARDS • Silver, 2024 PubWest Book Design Awards, Adult Trade Book – Illustrated winner • 2024 Finalist for Popular Culture winner • Gold Medalist, 2025 Independent Publisher Book Awards, Popular Culture Category winner • 2024 SILVER Winner for Popular Culture winner
