The official and comprehensive celebration of 60 years of Britain's favourite soap. Everything you need to know about Britain's longest-running and most popular soap is found here in this impressive book.
Celebrating 60 years since the show's creation, this book is an exhaustive, compelling and entertaining history packed full of features and long forgotten imagery.

A special section on the show's creator Tony Warren, shows how the programme evolved from page to screen and is illustrated with rare imagery and artefacts from his own archive. There are even special gatefold pages that open out showing how the set has developed over the years and family trees of the major characters so you can see the complex web of relations for the likes of the Barlows and the Platts.

External Reviews
"I love that it showed you all the houses in the street and the families that lived in them. The storyline highlights throughout the years and so so much more. If I was a soap fan I would be glued to this book. Excellent present and excellent value."
". . . this book is an excellent companion, setting out various family trees, who lived where and when etc. It is also just enjoyable as a glossy, well produced compendium of a much loved series, an ideal gift for anyone who is a fan or maybe just interested in how and why it all got started, how it developed and has lasted so long." - Google Reviews.
