Blue
Peter Books
Blue Peter first hit our
screens in 1958 and has been running ever since. In 1964 a book was issued about the show,
highlighting items from the program and with plenty of items for children to make
things. Since then there have been a books most years plus some specials such as the Green
book issued in 1990. It has been rumoured that book 28 had been recalled
following the sacking of Richard Bacon, although copies where on sale locally.
Old issues are easy to
find at very low prices, so it is still possible to put together a nice collection. I
currently have 19 of the issues, some are shown below.
Book 3 -
1966
This is the earliest
copy I have and
the first to feature
