Boy's Own

Thicker than 3 Blue Peter annuals

To own a full set of Boy's Own fanzines you'd have to hang out on eBay for months and shell out at least a grand, and that's assuming you could find enough middle-aged ravers prepared to give up such an important chunk of their glory years. Even the Boy's Own boys themselves are "a few mags short of a binder". Weatherall gave all his away in a happy potlatch moment; Terry and Steve managed to muster almost a full set between them but even then we found a definite gap between issue three and issue five which we had to dip into Harry Patch's collection to fill. Once we had the full 12 we hired a team of Polish monks to engrave exact copies of every issue, and hand-bind them using antique vellum. The result is our heftiest book to date, 440 Balearious pages of acid house mirth, mayhem, insight and insult. Just £24.95 with dirt cheap postage.

(Bugger! I used to have a Blue Peter badge somewhat ironically for a drawing that I did of a duck-billed platypus that was shown on the programme when I was about 7 and I cannot for the love of me remember when/where I lost that...1978/79?/ Who knows!)
