WAYS INTO HISTORY! TOYS AND GAMES

 We picked up this old kids book about the history of toys and games for Junior and Miss.

The iconic Spacehopper graces the cover.


A look back at the Sixties and Seventies, Dad gets an Action Man and a Dinky Thunderbird 2. I'll leave the Monopoly for the gamers like my Missus, who along with her mates, placed two boards alongside each other and played a mega Monopoly marathon!


Gran and Grandad get some toys too!


The section on Making Toys is interesting. There's even a 1945 toy workshop.

For a thin book it packs a lot in!

Do you have books on toys, models and games?

    1. Its good to have a reference library Paul. the internet has taken over in some areas but the feel of books in the hand can't be beaten can it.
