110 film revolutionised photography in the 70s, making cameras easier to use and easier to load. But not as easy as the digital cameras that have now made the film more or less extinct. Except in Japan of course.

And from Japan comes the Secret Book camera. Yes, shaped like a vintage book, youu just pull off the casing and spine to expose a retro-styled camera that uses 110 film for capturing your precious moments.

It’s sized at just 4.5 x 1.5 inches and if you’re worried about getting the film (which can be developed at any specialist camera store), you can order that online too. The camera cost $55 (around £30). See over for a pic of the camera in book form.

Regular readers will know we’re suckers for any technology in wood – after all, it does match the sideboard and that’s got to be a bonus. But when it looks and works like the Tivoli Networks radio, that’s even better.

The Networks covers all radio bases – DAB, FM or internet radio (via your home network connection), offering access to thousands of stations. It also offers USB connectivity for playing back your MP3s, a ‘virtual’ analogue clock, two independent alarms with sleep/snooze slimline remote control and a screen for all your station information.

High-end audio is a given, but you can also boost the set-up by adding a matching speaker (pictured), CD player and subwoofer. But that stylish wood finish and technology doesn’t come cheap – £495 for the radio alone in a choice of cherry, walnut or wenge finish.
