This is a fun, slightly oversized book with many full-color photos and lots of interesting text showing all sorts of toys, for children to adults, that were popular during the baby boomer years of the 1940s to the 1970s. Barbie, G.I. Joe, Tonka trucks, troll dolls, Twister..... it's all here. Loads of fun to read through and bring back fond memories.
