Celebrating The Times & Sunday Times Olympic scrapbook

You may have read about John Astin in the news recently. With the Olympics just days away his previous work has gained more prominence.

He's served as a major inspiration for The Times & Sunday Times to publish an Olympic Scrapbook - John produced one himself as part of a school project the last time the Games were in London - back in 1948. His scrapbook contained close to 800 pictures and articles as he chronicled every imaginable corner of the event.

Now The Times & Sunday Times are releasing their own scrapbook, available in Saturday's edition of The Times at WH Smith & Waitrose, and John is pleased his work is being remembered 64 years on.
