Reader Reviews
One quality shared by all really good reference books is that the reader who goes to look something up finds himself twenty minutes later unable to remember his original question. TOYS A-Z is handy sized and beautifully designed, with a thumb index and hundreds of illustrations of toys, ads, logos. The author is a real presence. Mark Rich has clear interests and an individual point of view. He shows us the story of an industry devoted to providing playthings and is strongest on U.S. toys. The book, in fact is a study of Americana. And an original piece of Americana as well. If it was twice as long, it would be ten times as good. Ten times as long and nobody who dipped into it would ever be heard from again!
