Have just found this on Amazon, good to see there is some recognition of The Avengers' anniversary.

Brilliant and well-spotted. Interesting to check out the author's other works too.

And there was me pontificating in my last post about a book for the 50th anniversary. Cool

Now, those Lotto numbers ...

Oh, wow! How exciting! Very Happy

I can't wait! So glad to see someone recognise the milestone. I hope it'll cover all the parts of the show--TNA, the comics, radio series, etc.--and not just the original series. Some fresh pictures would be great, too. But what a nice coffee table book to have.

(I have a nice copy of that cover photo, too. It lives on my wall above the Gareth Hunt in Deathtrap poster and below Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden from I Dream of Jeannie. Wink

)

Nice predictions there, Dandy. Can you start wishing for the missing Keel episodes now? Wink

It looks as though Steed is about to hook Emma round the neck for a snog with the aid of his brolly.

And Emma likes it.

Never saw that particular photo before. Nice! Looks like a book that every fan will be proud to own.

And it's good that a book is not region coded and every Avengers fan can enjoy this no matter where they live.

And I agree with Timeless, I likes the cover. Cool

The book will be issued simultaneously in the US. I just ordered it from Barnes and Noble.

Not wanting to judge a book by it's cover, but this is a great way to celebrate 50 years of Avengers.

Dandy Forsdyke · Posted: Thu May 06, 2010 6:32 am Post subject:

I feel very confident about this - especially after Alan's (I think) positive comments about the author. I wasn't expecting anything to mark it's 50th and a quick anonymously written tome cribbed from various Internet websites would have been a huge disappointment.

I love the cover. Simple and suitably retro (a bit like me! Smile

) and hope it's a good sign of the content.

I have a feeling this book will be everything the dedicated fan would want in an Avengers book, with lots of unseen photos and a serious essay on the show. If the cover and title are any indication, we're in for a treat. Hardcover, too. I'm ready.
