A nice mixture of great illustrations and entertaining historical text, this book isn't too heavy on the intricate details of the brands' histories, but does provide a nice overview of the various eras of Japanese toymaking. The items illustrated are fascinating, well-photographed and well-described and range from the beautiful to the bizarre to the downright disturbing (check out the creepy clockwork kids on the back cover!). A particualrly nice touch is the gallery of company logos which will be a boon to anyone looking to get into identifying/collecting these great pieces.
