With a protective slipcase, page ribbons and glossy images throughout, this book celebrates the legacy of Newsfield and CRASH! magazine for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. The covers from the first four years are shown on a page, with the reverse of each page giving details of the issue's contents and the cover's creation. The Addendum section reprints an article on how the magazine was created, along with artwork by the late Oli Frey from the early mail-order catalogues that were created before CRASH! became a magazine.
