The "Eurovision Song Contest": The Official History

All the fun of the fair!, 2007-03-26
Although I'm not much into Eurovision as a rule - I watch it every year though - I'm a huge fan of Sandie Shaw, Lulu, Clodagh Rodgers (and other Britgirls) so I wanted to have this book for that reason. Of course these three cool popettes featured in their relevant Euro years, but I surprised myself by finding so much more to enjoy in this book as well. It really was a stroll down memory lane and brought back so many things about the contest I'd forgotten over the years. It's got some really cool photos and is really well laid out. I love the way the colour schemes and fonts reflect the passing of the decades and changes in style and fashions. It covers everything very well and is obviously written out of affection for this venerable institution. Even Sandie Shaw has softened her long held hatred towards the show. Maybe this book helped :-) A great read!
