About this product
Product Information
Private Eye: The 60 Yearbook is a history of the last 60 years, as seen by Britain's first, most successful and indeed only fortnightly satirical magazine. From the Beatles to Brexit, JFK to Trump, the Moon landings to the Mars landings, it tells the story of the past six decades as they were recorded in the Eye's pages. The news stories you remember - and plenty you may have forgotten - are retold in cartoons, covers and the magazine's legendary spoofs as well as extensive extracts from some of its best-loved features like Mrs Wilson's Diary, Dear Bill and The Secret Diary of John Major. It is also the story of the headlines Private Eye made itself, from the earliest stirrings of investigative journalism exposing the Poulson Scandal and Ronan Point, through major miscarriages of justice like the Stephen Lawrence case and the Lockerbie cover-up and national scandals that have cost the country billions in dodgy PFI contracts, government cock-ups and secret sweetheart tax deals. Inside are the stories that led to the fall of two cabinet ministers, countless corrupt business figures and even the official in charge of making sure everyone else in Whitehall's behaviour was above board. It includes writing by such satirical giants as Peter Cook, Richard Ingrams, Craig Brown, Auberon Waugh and Ian Hislop, and pictures by some of the world's best cartoonists including Michael Heath, Gerald Scarfe, Nick Newman, Willie Rushton, Robert Thompson and Ken Pyne.Product Identifiers

Great book, meticulously researched.
I used to love Private Eye, particularly during the eighties and nineties. The 60 Yearbook brings back a lot of memories of the true stories, clever spoofs and cartoons that made the magazine such a great read and has introduced me to many more.This book is very well put together, both in detail and quality. It contains many laugh out loud moments, along with some very serious subject matter. I recommend it for hours of thoroughly entertaining reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great souvenir
A fascinating review of Private Eye's history, and a very readable synopsis of both "recent history" and my own teen/adult experience of the news. It's fun when you recall seeing a decades-old cartoon in the original mag too. Perhaps a tad pricey but there are some good deals around.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
