Fantastic stuff." -- James Arnold Taylor "A must-have for all those that think they know their classic pop-culture." 2000 AD "A wonderfully fresh and personal take on the quiz book format." -- Sebastian J. Brook, Doctor Who Online "Quite possibly one of the most family-friendly group-socialising books of the century." - Comics Review "Vintage Geek is the kind of book you whip out at parties to flex on your geek friends...
