Tomorrows World

Tomorrow’s World (1971) by Raymond Baxter and James Burke – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Strap yourself in for a jetpack-fuelled journey into the future… as imagined in 1971. Tomorrow’s World, brought to you by the smooth-talking prophets of progress, Raymond Baxter and James Burke, is a charmingly optimistic romp through the technological marvels that were supposed to revolutionise your life by now.

Published by the BBC and based on the beloved television series, this gloriously retro volume showcases the gadgets, breakthroughs, and space-age dreams of a Britain on the brink of tomorrow — from talking computers and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners to the moon base that (spoiler) never quite materialised.

Overflowing with grainy black-and-white photos, speculative diagrams, and unwavering faith in science, this book is a must-have for nostalgists, collectors, and anyone who enjoys seeing how the future used to look when it still had knobs and dials.

Condition: Slightly faded cover, a whiff of old library shelf, but still delivers a future you can believe in — if you’re stuck in 1971.

Crappy Old Books: Where yesterday’s tomorrows are just a paperback away.

Ex-library book with plastic dust cover. Has inner front page torn out, but there was probably not any content on that page as the content starts further in, so all the main pages are there. Looks well read, but all the binding and spine is strong.
