Bevy of books for Coronation Street's 50th

There's a shelf-full of books that have been released for Coronation Street's 50th anniversary (later this year in Canada, but last year in the U.K.) Prices are from Amazon.ca at the time of writing this and you may also find them in bookstores or places like Costco for similar or better prices, if you're lucky.

Fifty Years of Coronation Street by Tim Randall
- is available for $20.68 hardback at Amazon.ca. This is the officially sanctioned book, which is said to be the "definitive book on five decades of life on the street". There are profiles of 50 iconic "Coronation Street" characters—from Ena Sharples to David Platt— as well as interviews and script excerpts. I've got this one and it's lovely!

50 Years of Coronation Street: The (Very) Unofficial Story
- is for sale on Amazon.ca for $20.65 and is more gossipy than the official book with more of a behind the scenes view. I also have this and enjoyed it, too!


Coronation Street Treasures (updated for the 50th) by Tim Randall - will include CD featuring show highlights. Both Amazon and Chapters.Indigo online show it as out of stock.

Coronation Street: The Complete Saga (updated for the 50th) by Glenda Young Her bits of the book are way better than the rest! She's updated it several times over the past few years. Amazon is selling it for $26.26.

There's also an Ultimate Quiz Book, by Ed Cobham selling for $9.48.
