[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I Was Born Near the tail end of the 1980s, This Book is Well written and researched, it's a very pleasant wander through the nostalgia of a British kids childhood and I'd recommend it to anyone

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brilliant resource for those of us who adore nostalgia and like nothing better than to wallow in TV shows that we only vaguely remember. Great writing, excellent photo's, this is a must read and very highly recommended.

The ultimate A-Z Of Lazy Uncritical Nostalgia, featuring all the things that you DO remember but had tried not to; the result of too many hours spent pondering who would 'win' out of Adrian Juste and Hartley Hare and coming up with the answer 'Those Spidery Octopus Things That Rolled Down Windows'.
