I am really enjoying this book. i wasnt even born until Coronation Street had reached 20 so it is interesting to find out what went on in the early years. For older fans, this is a chance to reminice about the days of Elsie Tanner and Ena Sharples. The book is well layed out and wonderfully designed with hundreds of photographs.

This book is definately worth a read and here's to the next 40 years!

Excellent read!!
I bought this book as a birthday present for my Gran who LOVES Coronation Street. She never stops reading it. An excellent book which covers most of the Streets stars from past and present.

If you love the Street, then you can't go wrong with this.

44 years now of life in a concentration camp.
Well at least that's what it'll feel like. This really is one of the worstprogrammes on the box. Miserable, depressing and poorly acted. 44 years isfar too long for a show like this. Don't waste your money on this. Only dothat if you're struggling to find any loo paper in the shops!!!
