Take a curated trip back to the golden age of home entertainment with The Vintage Video Basement.

Join self-confessed video nerd Matt Parker as he opens the door to his retro den, showcasing an extraordinary collection of analogue electronics from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. From iconic Sony Trinitron TVs and forgotten Betamax players to early video cameras, LaserDiscs, and neon-lit gaming consoles, this book is a vibrant celebration of a bygone era.

More than just a catalog of vintage tech, The Vintage Video Basement is a visual time capsule filled with personal stories, historical insights, and geeky details that bring these devices - and their cultural impact - to life. Along the way, you'll rediscover the magic of physical media, explore the format wars that shaped a generation, and perhaps even feel inspired to create your own analogue archive. Part history, part design porn, this is the ultimate book for collectors, nostalgia lovers, and anyone who ever raced to press 'record' on a blank VHS tape.
