It's a book celebrating the Planet of the Apes trading cards produced by Topps from the 60s onwards. If you are old enough to have had any of their cards when you were young then you're going to love the memories the book will bring back. Each page features a colour print of the front of each card, and the reverse print is shown on the page behind. Upon flicking through its pages I was immediately transported back to my youth, picturing myself in the school playground with my mates; all of us looking at our cards from the TV series and discussing who needed which ones to complete their set. The book also includes the runs of cards from both the original 1968 film and the Tim Burton remake from the noughties. It's in A5-sized hardback form, with a colourful eyecatcher of a dustcover which feels like it's made from the same greaseproof paper used to wrap the chewing gum you got inside each pack of cards back in the day. Genius! I bought mine second-hand, but if you can find a new copy, it also includes a couple of packs of actual cards. Form an orderly queue please, apes diehards.Read full review

This Book is a Piece of Cinematic History a Quality Look Back Visually at this Cult Movie and Beyond, Topps Trading Cards were the Kid's Collectables of the day. I love this Book but I am Not happy at it's State on Arrival and My Correspondence has still not been Replied to about it's Damage.
