For some twenty-five years following World War II the Japanese manufactured and distributed worldwide - attractive toy products. This book's segment in time is standing still - its pages waiting to be savored - on the shelf of a proud owner. The volume's owner will be even prouder if he or she has one or many of the examples illustrated. If not, the pictures become a tool in the search. A fleet of tin toys somehow looms realistic and full size as its steward views and admires and ponders it.
