I came across this book a while back and the Kenner on the cover definitely piqued my interest. According to the description, it’s a book about Japanese Toys. (causing some Blythe fans to wonder why they’d photograph an American doll for the cover.) I doubt she’s an Ai Ai, but I like her mystique and will be keeping an eye out for this one at bookstores. It’s available at Amazon:

    I bought this book a while ago. I like the beginning. It’s about how plastic changed the way toys were made and the evolution of toys from Japan. I sort of lost interest towards the middle though when they start delving into garage kits etc. That’s just me though, I’m sure a lot of people will find it informative.
