How do I get Anderson-specific merchandise?

Again, the info below may be out of date, so please check in the COLLECTABLES and RESOURCES sections.

The long-awaited definitive guide to Anderson-related merchandise, Dennis Nicholson's GERRY ANDERSON MEMORABILIA GUIDE, was finally released in late November 1994. A 400-page book in large-format paperback, it contains thousands of black-and-white photos covering nearly every item of Anderson merchandise/memorabilia ever made. For information on purchase, contact Traffic Collectibles/Box 193, Malvern Road/Toorak, 3142/AUSTRALIA; fax +61-3-5212944 or Dennis Way Nicholson/Cooee Concepts Pty. Ltd./P.O. Box 193/Hawksburn, Victoria 3142/AUSTRALIA. A website containing much of the same information is located at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dennisn/INTRO.html.

(A warning about Star Tech: Many fans have had difficult dealings with the management--non-delivery of merchandise, delivery of wrong merchandise, damaged shipments, poor or non-existent customer service, and the like. Management at Star Tech has recently changed; some people report better service from the new group than from previous dealings. Still, enough complaints have been received about Star Tech to warrant a "let the buyer beware" statement.)
