Brief history: Relaxing with a cuppa tea and an Argos catalogue while circling things we were probably never gonna get was a favourite British pastime - especially for kids. In July 2020, the nation mourned when Argos stopped printing their much-loved shopping catalogue after 47 years, 93 editions and more than one billion copies. Dubbed the ‘Book of Dreams’ by Bill Bailey, it was the end of an era. It was more than an iconic book, it was rad and so we celebrate and pay homage to our favourite vintage years in That Was Rad’s retro Argos catalogue series.
