I've collected Target books all my life and always wanted someone to collect the artwork in one place. It's great that Mr. Achilleos has allowed this to be done using the original art (not scans), unspoiled by logos etc. All the favourites are here and many bonus pieces. It's a big, colourful book and every page takes me back to a simpler, happier time and the Target collection on my shelves. Fantastic!!
