With Christmas just around the corner, it’d be nice to sell a few more copies of the book, so here are some proper, genuine, reader reviews that might help you choose what to buy for your retro-obsessed friends this Yuletide.

From Waterstones.com

“I’ve found that it’s a book that benefits going through with a few friends, as it stirs memories and is a good conversation starter. I personally filled a few lunch hours at work going over which toys we had and what became of them.”

From Play.com

“Unlike similiar books, this one strongly focuses on toys that were available in the UK, so you should know most of the items here.”

From Librarything.com

“If you have any sense of nostalgia for the toys that were great when we were kids in the 80’s this is a treasure.”

From UsingEnglish.com

“By the time you’ve finished laughing out loud, you’ve cross-referenced one toy against another and you’ve gazed wistfully at the toy photos, wishing you were 8 years old again, this book will have kept you interested for many hours.”

And there’s a video review over at Ninety Second Review plus some nice mentions of the book on people’s blogs, including my old mate GiaGia (who one day I hope to work with again), Fustar, Box Vox, Out On Blue Six, Retro To Go, Me And My Big Mouth, the Liverpool Daily Post, and Mirror.co.uk. Thank you all.
