THE BIG TOY BOX AT SEARS

Peter Fritz and John Mautner. A4 paperback, 450+ pages, illustrated throughout in black and white. This is a reprint of the Sears Roebuck Christmas toy catalogues from 1951 to 1970 and it is shear undiluted nostalgia. There should be a warning on the cover because once you dip into it you just cant' stop looking, also it tears you apart seeing what you could have bought in 1960 for just $5.98! Toy guns, trains, cars, dolls, planes, robots and best of all MARX playsets, they're all in here. Published 1987 by Toytown Classics, PO Box 292, Auburn, MA01501. USA. (no ISBN no.)
