The Golden Turkey Awards by Harry and Michael Medved came out in 1980 and we got it.
Our copy was wore out and falling apart by the time Son Of Golden Turkey Awards came out.
Once I discovered eBay, one of the first things I bid on (and won) was a new copy of The Golden Turkey Awards.
I also got the other movie books by the Medveds.
Since 1980 I have been trying to see all the winners (and losers) in this book so far I've seen all but two of the winners: Wild 90 & the lost film Him.

Links to two other Medved Books:
The Fifty Worst Films Of All Time (1978)
Son Of Golden Turkey Awards (1986)
