Product Description

A text-only version of the bestselling book.TV Cream Toys celebrates the presents that we hoped, wished and prayed would turn up in the Christmas stockings of yesteryear. From Big Trak to Buckaroo!, Mastermind to Merlin, Sorry! to Strawberry Shortcake, each peerless plaything from the '60s through to the '90s is examined and catalogued (in the Argos, rather than the scientific, sense).Culled from award-winning retro website TV Cream, this book lists a wealth of fondly remembered toys, games, and novelties, and unearths quite a few of the oft-forgotten classics that, even to this day, remain treasured in the hearts of our inner children.LET THE BLIZZARD OF MR MEN WRAPPING PAPER COMMENCE…

Amazing 6 Jan 2008

By Peter Lee TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover

This is one of those great books you find yourself flicking through, stopping every few pages to loudly exclaim "I had one of those!" to the annoyance of all around you. Big Trak, Star Bird, Crossfire, Action Man, Sindy, Cascade - they're all here. Clearly a labour of love, Steve Berry has worked wonders on this wonderful book, and the humorous text is a joy to read. Even my girlfriend loved it, frequently snatching it off me to do the same flick, point, shriek "I always wanted one of those!" thing I'd been annoying her with for the last hour or so. A cracker of a book.

'A Great Fun Conversation Starter' 17 Dec 2007

By Antony May TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Hardcover

If you are aged between 30 and 45 and would like to revisit your childhood for a moment or two you will love this book. Full of colour, the text in this book is both light hearted, cheeky and informative (there's even a rough guide to each items Ebay value!). It's an ideal 'coffee table' book and is packed with photographs and information about of so many of the popular toys and games from yesteryear (and my youth!). For example, do you remember 'Haunted House' game (the one where you put the skull down the chinmey)? Or 'Battling Tops' (Wind 'em up and let 'em go!). Yes, of course you do (if your my age (42) HA HA) and I bet you loved 'Cross Fire' (shoot the puck with the marble guns to score a goal) collected 'Top Trumps' and played with loads of 'Action Man' toys too! Happy memories coming back yet? I bet they are and that's the real joy of this book. Show this to a group of your friends and I guarantee you'll have a lot of fun reminiscing about which of the toy's and games in this book you once owned! Well, I'm off now for a ride around the block on my 'Chopper'! BUY AND ENJOY!

"You'll Never Win!" - "Oh Yes I Will!" 25 Jan 2008

By TJ Worthington

Format:Hardcover

With everything covered from the obvious (Spacehoppers) to the deliciously long-forgotten (Star Bird!), this book will bring those memories of staring at toys in catalogues that you wanted but never got flooding back in seconds. Each toy has their own wittily-written entry, highlighting how they were both great and a bit rubbish at the same time, and there's loads of photos to boot. If you love toys, love a bit of a laugh and love, erm, "I Love The Seventies", you'll love this!

TV Cream Toys Evoking Childhood Memories.

TV Cream Toys by Steve Berry could so easily have been another book full of facts and figures about the toys we remembered as children growing up in the 70's and 80's. Read more

Published 1 month ago by Mr. J. Lunn

Pleasantly suprised

I ordered this despite it said Paperback in the description. How surprised and happy i was to find that actually it is in fact hardback book. For me that just added to it. Read more

Published 6 months ago by Hilary

Sample only - amusing, fun, but slightly clichéd.

I didn't have very high hopes for this, expecting it to be like one of those Channel 4 "100 greatest something or other" programmes, but it was actually a bit better than that. Read more

Call me old fashioned but...

Whilst this book is fun to flick through I found the wording really unnecessary, especially as I was flicking through it with my 7 year old nephew who is very good at reading! Read more

I bought this on first publication, and it's a perfect coffee-table book, spanning eras of toys that will be creamy to wide age-ranges. Read more

Loved this book - a real trip down memory lane - suggest reading on a saturday morning with a bag of penny chews.

Published on 7 Sep 2009 by H. M. Bridges

Great trip down memory lane!

I really enjoyed this book as it reminded me of things i had as a child and the things I wanted and never got. It's also a reminder of how simple a lot of the toys actually were. Read more
