(4/4) And finally, Scarred For Life Volume Three: Pop Culture in the Shadow of the Bomb has a book-within-a-book about nuclear war pop culture. Who wouldn't want these under the Christmas tree?

(3/4) And here are the delights awaiting you in Scarred For Life Volume Two: Television in the 1980s. Everything from Hammer House of Horror to a particularly bleak episode of Juliet Bravo!
