  An Illustrated annual style book of what is fun, strange, bizarre and quirky about pop music. The book will be packed with illustrations from the photographic and written archives of The Daily Mirror's pop pages. Pop is a fun orientated gift book, a stocking filler with a whole range of stories, pictures, lists, tit bits, and lots of things that have been forgotten!
  It's bad hair, fashion faux pas, dodgy situations, feeble attempts to get pop stars noticed, pop stars motors, pop stars pets anything that shows pop for what it is....a passing fashion but at the same time the single most appreciated art form in the world today.
