"It's Our Thing - 300 Years of Irish Brands" is a large book covering a wide variety of brand categories.

I grew up in Ireland and left after graduation so it was really fun to read about the brands and see photos of places and people I remember from my youth. At the time I really didn't know much about the history of most of the companies and famous symbols of Ireland written about in the book so it was very interesting to learn more about them.

My favourite topics included "Radio Caroline" which played a huge part in my teen years, learning more about the Book of Kells, and the various stores I frequented as a kid. Enlightening stories of Guinness, Harp Lager and... More > Baileys Irish Cream. Lesser known brands are covered such as the Shamrock and the De Lorean Gull wing car, Aer Arann and some new brands are covered.

History of the major banks and the Titanic are also included in the book. The book is well organised and the layout of the book with many interspersed logos and photos makes it very easy to read. The writing style is light and easy as well as being informative. Interesting timelines are included with each brand.

A very worthwhile read. < Less
