I just happened to stop by 1/2 price book to look for a book containing information on Hot Wheels and came across this book. After reading the description on the back on what's it about, I've decided to buy it. After reading this book, wow... its about the toy wars we are in right now between hasbro, mattle, and all them competition. Its a good book that tells you how this all started, with what toys and all that. Those of you who are a true collectors of toys should get this book and read it because it talks about a multi-billion dollars toy wars and who is better and many more. Who came up with the idea, how much it cost to make, sell, and resale at retails and many more. Its worth the money, time, & reading. Again its called " The Real Toy Story - Inside the Ruthless Battle for Americas's Youngest Consumers " by Eric Clark. Published in 2007.

Does it have 12" Joe and Barbie facing off on the cover?
I swear I saw this several years ago in hardcover and was broke and interested and never saw it again. Maybe I'm crazy or it's been republished. Thanks for the reminder, maybe I can grab it from the library. |

Zenfakor...you should check it out... Snakeeyes22..no it does. Its a black book with different toys on it but the book in general talks about ALL toys produced from I think it said 1938 to current.
