  I've received this book as a birthday gift. For those wondering whether or not to buy it, here's a brief review.
  
  It hasn't got an index, which is frustrating if you want to look up one character or incident in particular.
  
  The Chapters are divided up into Decades from the 50's to the 00's.
  
  Before each chapter is an overview of what farming was like in that decade & other key happenings.
  
  Selected actors & production staff have been interviewed and their profiles are inserted as you go along. I was disappointed that Adam was missing, but most of the main cast are there.
  
  The authors do apologise for not being able to include everybody's favourite character/event, but that would have been an impossibility.
  
  There are lots of past & current photographs of TA actors.
  
  I don't think it would be worth buying at full price, but it's a good anniversary book, especially for newer fans.

  It is a mixture of lots of old bits from other books, with the words changed a bit, and "puffed" interviews with cast and production. In my opinion.
  
  Too expensive by four times. I wish I had been given the receipt as well, it may appear in a charity shop near you, soon.
