BOOKS O' FUN!

Hey there retro-fun loving literates, start preparing your minds for the upcoming Wham-O Super-Book: Celebrating 60 Years Inside the Fun Factory by Tim Walsh of the popular Timeless Toys book. It will be out on October 1st, but it's up for pre-order now. I'm predicting greatness. This is the formerly secret WHAM-O project that I mentioned last year. So some of the items in the book are there entirely due to the existence of secret fun blog readers! I realize I just gave you the brain boggling of a lifetime there, but you simply must accept this fact, and alter your life accordingly.

Well, if you can't wait until October for some bookish pleasure then I recommend the incredible Wacky Packages book that came out a few months ago...




The book itself is a work of art. The wax paper dust jacket triggers the same joys as holding an unopened pack of Wacky cards. The design and layout are practically perfect, (Ok, except that I wish the horizontal Wacky Packs weren't scaled down to fit on the pages.) and this volume (as well as the WHAM-O book) costs less than 14 bucks! I'm ever grateful to Matthew Guest for making it known to me.
