In this special Toy Power episode we are joined by author Paul Flavel. He’s just released an amazing new book called John Martin's: The Story of South Australia's Beloved Department Store, which has been over 5 years in the making. We chat about many amazing memories of this beloved South Australian department store, from the incredible toy department (largest in the Southern hemisphere, that’s a fact, Jack) to the indispensable Eliza’s cafeteria (where the malt for your milkshake is always available), through to the Christmas pageant and the undisputed home of Father Christmas. If you have a love for this beloved SA retailer, do yourself a favour and check it out at https://www.johnmartinsbook.com (print run 1 is selling fast). You can curl up with your Marty bear and a cup of coffee from Eliza’s and enjoy this beautiful book that so beautifully captures an important part of our State (and Australian) retail history. Darren, this one’s for you buddy!
