Product Description
Product Description
A long time ago, in a factory far, far away...a spread was born that would divide the peoples of this planet for centuries to follow. They were and still are split: there are those who love and those who hate. This book is for all who have ever so much as tasted, sniffed, scoffed at or rejected this particular spread, the most celebrated of all storecupboard icons: the one, the only, the irrepressible Marmite! "The Bumper Book of Marmite" is a huge book which explores the strange, beautiful, funny world of Marmite and the people, thoughts and events that orbit it. It's almost as big as a coffee table. A huge publishing event and being produced with the full backing of Unilever, this book promises to be one of the biggest (and heaviest) gift books of the year. Beautiful archive imagery, a full as-interesting-as-we-can-make-it history, glorious Marmite menu ideas, jolly clever ideas for jar-scraping and such-like and a bombardment of visual bits and bobs that prove just how very profound an effect this dark, mysterious yeast extract has had upon our culture, our homes, our hearts...our breath.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book!,
This review is from: The Bumper Book of Marmite (Hardcover)
This was a gift from a friend who knows I'm rather Marmite-mad and I really love it!
It's the perfect gift for anyone who loves the stuff, but probably not a bad one to give to someone who hates it too! It's a fun book which doesn't take itself at all seriously and is full of page after page of very striking illustrations, very amusing stories and some brilliantly clever jokes and puns (Mona Lisa, King Kong and Pyscho as you've never seen them before). Some really nice touches such as an alternative history and stories of how Marmite was created (extracted from underground mines!) and a really wonderful A-Z that runs the length of the book. I'd recommend this to anyone - ideal Christmas present, so get your sticky mitts on it too!

A great celebration of all things Marmitey!,
By Charles Fearnley (Gloucestershire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bumper Book of Marmite (Hardcover)
Just in time for Christmas, this will probably make it to the stocking of many a Marmite fan. A book brimming with wonderful nonsense stories, glorious technicolour artworks and many a laugh-out-loud moment.

Love it or hate it,
By Bison "Bison" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bumper Book of Marmite (Hardcover)
This is a fab colourful book of fun, an ideal gift for the person in you house that likes Marmite.
Full of excellent illustrations and witty text - not a fact book by any means, although it has a few recipes, generally just a romp through a Marmite fuelled world. Bought as a Christmas pressie for a Marmite friend, really pleased with it.
