Some sad news via Bill Bailey.
Argos axes ‘book of dreams’ catalogue after 48 years – BBC News
“The laminated book of dreams,” was how comedian Bill Bailey jokingly described the plastic-coated Argos catalogue. But 48 years on from its launch, the catalogue is finally coming to an end. The encyclopedia-like catalogues, the basis of many a child’s Christmas wishlist, will no longer be regularly printed by the end of the January 2021.
And I see that the link to the catalogues from the 70s onwards that I shared last October has gone now, too. What a shame.

Here’s a working link (for now, at least) to that back catalogue, via things magazine.
