“Have you seen a walkie-talkie Policeman?” Not lately! But there’s one on the cover of this title. Full of interesting but now very dated things to spy, even in the redrawn version you’d struggle to complete more than a few pages today outside museums; onion sellers, knife grinders, tar boilers… the list goes on. The first edition showed streets with I-Spy posters on street walls inside and on the cover.
