Outstanding Photography -- even amongst similar booksBy Mark A. WeissI myself am very good at photographing THINGS (objects). While technical stuff may be needed, the real goal is to get the thing to seem as if there were some sort of soul to it. Plenty (or at least a few) toy books are out there. They each have their own merits as to what's in the collection and how they are written about. I give this book at least an A- on the writing (which is quite good). But I give an outright UNEQUIVOCAL A+ on the photography. In fact, I think the photography may be the very best in ANY book of any kind. Certainly the photography is best of any THINGS photography. Soul is definitely imbued in every photograph. I suppose this might be a problem in that you almost don't need the toy! Color, focus, sharpness, print quality, shadow detail, lack of blowouts, choice of gamma -- all are outstanding. But it is the artistry that caresses the objects, that cherishes the objects, and that shows the soul of the objects, that sets this book apart. That should be enough for you to buy this book. This fascinating book covers one hundred classic toys that have enchanted, captivated and enthralled generations of children. From the simplest building blocks to the most sophisticated robots, each toy included is still being manufactured or is easily available through sites like eBay. Why do some toys become classic? There are many reasons why particular toys stood out from their competitors. Perhaps the limitless creative possibilities of the LEGO brick, the timeless appeal of the dolls' house or the comforting presence of a favorite bear - whatever the secret, these toys and games have earned a special place in the hearts of millions of children (and former children). The author presents the background on how each toy was created and explains why it has become a classic. He also provides information about the manufacturer and how to find the toy - even in cases where it might not still be in production. Anybody flicking through the pages of 100 Classic Toys will be able to see a toy and say, "I used to have one of those!"This is a book for toy collectors, for parents and grandparents, for anyone who has ever played with a toy!Contents: Alphabet Blocks, Meccano, Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoy, Lego, Stokys, Kapla, Stickle Bricks, Buckaroo!, Connect Four, Twister, Electric Football, Guess Who?, Magic 8 Ball, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Rebound, Jack-in-the- box, Kerplunk, Barrel of Monekys, Rubik s Cube, Jacks, Jenga, Mouse Trap, Marbles, Battleship, Rock em Sock em Robots, Labyrinth, Subbuteo, Jigsaw Puzzles, Operation, Mastermind, Tiddlywinks, Balls, Kites, Slinky, Bubble Blower, Radio Flyer Wagon, Nerf, Jump rope, Skipping, Stylophone, Hula Hoop, Two Tune TV, Frisbee, Pogo stick, Super Ball, View-Master, Space Hopper, Rocking Horse, Yo-yo, Raggedy Ann, Barbie, Tiny tears, Cabbage Patch Kids, Forts and castles, Breyer, Playmobil, Dolls Houses, Mr. Potato Head, G.I.
