This is an interesting if flawed little book. Chris Packet (sure that's not his real name) is a graffiti artist, who has been collecting crisp packets for years. This is an incomplete look at how the packets have changed over the years. Some of these are small local brands, some are brands that have now vanished, some are still around but a little more expensive than the 10p on the packet.
Each packet has a full page illustration, with unfortunately no text, so it's difficult to always put in context. Saying that for some of them it did bring back some memories.

Absolutely mind blowing. A real experience. Thanks!
