Format: Hardcover
What a fantastic book! Well, to call it a book is missing the point really. It's more an 'experience'. As you'd expect with any official Corrie book it's jam-packed with memories as it gives a house by house account of the last 45 years. What's more, it's written with the same kind of wit as the show with loads of photos of the residents and also of things you don't normally see close up, like Curly's Bettabuys name badge, the Rover's price list and Fred Elliot's passport.
BUT, the icing on the cake is what is slotted in between those entertaining pages - the treasures of the title. A packet of photos of Rita, Bet and hilda on holiday in Majorca in the most fab cossies - and they are real photos! Sarah's baby scan, Betty's handwritten recipe for hotpot - all stained and clearly well used, a Valentine's card from Gail to first hubby Brian, the suicide note of her third! And a strip of passport photos of Roy Cropper that makes him look even scarier than 'Norman Bates with a briefcase!' Oh, and Chesney's poster when Schmeichel was missing! If only the could put that boy between the pages, he's such a sweetie! And loads more. It's a real treasure trove! And they aren't photocopies, they are the real thing and you can hold them in your hands! Briallitn! I had no idea you could do this sort of thing in a book. There should be more books like it.
There's also a cd of sound clips from the show with loads of popular characters and memorable moments including two of my faves - Stan and hilda enjoying champers and a kiss on their second honeymoon and Ken teaching Raquel French! Great stuff - it's like listening to it on the radio. A few more clips would have been nice though - then i could have listened all afternoon!

This boxset book was a real trip down memroy lane for me! My daughter bought it for me for my birthday present and we've both spent hours pouring over it. It covers all the big dramatic storylines such as Richard Hillman and Deirdre's Free The Weatherfield One, and then all the comedy as well - like Norris's book club and Jack & Vera's non stop bantering! There are lots of fantastic photos and pull out bits and I am definitely buying one for my sister this Christmas!

If you are a Corrie fan you cannot miss this item. You would be surprised by the amount of memorabilia that this book contains. It has amased most of my friends that have been watching the show for years.
It mainly contains a description of each house and location in the street and their occupants (with their stories of course). The memorabilia includes photographs, letters, telegrams, birth certificates and the suicide note from Katie!
Also it comes with a CD, which at the beginning I tought it was a dvd, but don't be confused it is an Audio CD so it contains conversations from some episodes. I think it would have been great if instead the audio cd they would've included a dvd with bits of the most important episodes! But overall a great item

I love The Street and I love this book. It perfectly captures the humour, the history and the iconic characters of Britain's number one soap. A must Crimbo pressie for any Corrie fan!

I'm not sure about this book, to be honest. This is a good book but there are a few inaccuracies in it and some of the events reported are out of sequence with other bits left out. There are a few new things for long-term Coronation Street fans to discover but not all that much and it's basically just a summary of main points in the show's history with half the book being taken up by pictures. However, at the same time, there are pictures of more recent storylines in the book such as Ian McKellen's role in the show and the neo Baldwins. Unlike other Coronation Street books, it could be got through in one sitting so doesn't take that long to read, I would have preferred a longer read. Plus the treasures that are included, you'll either think are interesting or pointless, but I like the Majorca photos and Richard and Katy's letters. The CD that came with the book, though, is enjoyable with lots of good Coronation Street moments from far back in the show's history and also from the last two or three years. There are better Coronation Street books but this one is still worth buying to have read it and listened to the CD although not at too expensive a price.

This would make a brilliant Christmas present for any Coronation Street fan. I bought it for my father-in-law and can't wait for him to open it on the day. The contents are very well made and it will keep readers happy for hours as they exclaim over each page and treasure. Well worth the price, a bargain in fact.
