After almost 5 years of digitising content for brandnewretro.ie the time is right to bring these scans back to the format in which they first appeared, and the format in which they are best appreciated. Print. I am delighted to announce that the Brand New Retro book will be on sale from this Thursday. The book is a uniquely Irish compendium of over 700 images, adverts and articles featuring the best bits from brandnewretro.ie along with lots of new scans. The book is a collaboration with my pal Joe Collins and is published through Liberties Press.
Meanwhile..

The people behind this book are some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve met.
The promo video gives a good idea of the love that went into the book.
