Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Signed First Ed. ISBN-10: 0740755714 ISBN-13: 978-0740755712 Oversized: 320 pages -- 11.2 x 9.9 inches Signed by the author in the etch a sketch at front of book. Also shows a very nice gift message to previous owner in ink. The book Why Didn't I Think of That! includes the passage "If a toy has magic, when people see it they say, 'Oooh! What is that?' . . . It appeals to the kid in everybody." That same kind of magic captures "the kid in everybody" when they pick up Timeless Toys: Classic Toys and the Playmakers Who Created Them. Slinky, Lego, Tonka trucks, Monopoly, Big Wheel, Frisbee, Hula Hoop, Super Ball, Scrabble, Barbie, Radio Flyer Wagons: All of these and many, many more are featured in this fascinating tome, along with the toys' histories, insider profiles, and rare interviews with toy industry icons. It's simply magic! Timeless Toys represents one of the finest documentaries and displays of modern toys ever written. Author Tim Walsh, a successful toy inventor himself, reveals a world of commerce, toys, and wonder that is equally fun, fascinating, and nostalgic. Readers of every age and background will find it impossible to pick up this book, turn a few pages, and not become spellbound by its insightful stories and the personal memories that the text and 420 brilliantly colored photographs bring forth. Wonderful large book that has a nice jacket. The book does show interior pulled away from spine interior but still very nice. Book with very mild bumped corners and spine ends. Bound in the publisher's original red cloth with the spine stamped in silver. Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase. I do offer shipping discounts for multi item purchases. Thanks for stopping in! |
