All the fun of the fair!, 2007-03-15
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!
Great book!, 2007-03-14
I've been into Eurovision for as long as I can remember and always wondered why there wasn't a definitve guide and history published before. This book fills that gap perfectly. Everything you'd want to know and loads of things you've probably never thought of. Certainly the Eurostats section has tons of stuff to mull over. I really think this is a great book with great layouts and illustrations. Love the look of the author too! Yum!

Updated & Expanded, 2007-03-28
I bought the two earlier editions of this book, but I wasn't sure I was going to get this new version, as the 2nd hadn't really added anything much, other than the 2005 chapter. But when I saw this new 2007 book, I was really impressed with the expansion of the Eurostats and the new 2006 chapter. Plus, the annoying errors from the first book seem to have all been corrected, which is welcome in something that really is the definitive guide to my favourite show. I really like the Lordi cover too! Really recommend this book to any Eurovision fan as a must have and a great book for anyone to read in general.
