Unwrap A Great Gift!

It’s like all your Christmases and birthdays come at once!  The book of the blog of the site is now on sale, in all its paper glory.  Order one now.  Order two now!  Buy ‘em for all your friends and family and be the toast of the day, wherever you are.  (Great for Father’s Day, too!)

Packed with over 200 colour photos and a whole gallery’s worth of specially commissioned illustrations, TV Cream Toys (obligatory subtitle: “Presents You Pestered Your Parents For”) is an expanded, revised, and improved version of this very site.  Plus, it’s portable, so you can read it on the bus or, more likely, the toilet.  It’s an ideal gift for that nostalgic uncle or auntie, mum or dad, lonely bachelor or spinster. With a RRP of £12.99, it’s worth every penny - but the good news is, no-one is charging that much for it anyway!  Hooray for the loss of royalties!

What they’re saying about the book: 

“Funny, and supremely nostalgic…”   Jonathan Ross

“Brilliant, life-affirming and very, very funny, if you’re old enough to buy your own presents this Christmas, then put this book on your list…”   Ally Ross, The Sun

“This book cruelly reminds me of all the brilliant toys that my mum and dad wouldn’t let me have, but more kindly points out their limitations in a hilarious and heart-warming way…”   Richard Herring

“This book has stirred up all kinds of nostalgic memories, some that maybe should’ve been left alone…”   Al Murray

“This book rekindled that forlorn, inner longing that so many men of my age once had. You soon realise that toys were us…”    Harry Hill

“I was never given any of these toys, and frankly I’m still hopping mad about that.  This book is part of the healing process.  I only wish he’d called it Fuck you, Father Christmas…”   Charlie Brooker, The Guardian
