Part of the Haworth Press "Contemporary Sports Issues" series from the Haworth Press, Frederick J. Augustyn Jr.'s Dictionary Of Toys And Games In American Popular Culture isn't a price guide per say: it's a reference listing which outlines the most popular toys and games in American culture, listing the history of each game or toy, and providing a brief outline of its importance. From Silly Putty to Scrabble, Tinkertoys to Rock Em Sock Em Robots, this is a lively and fun history collectors will find intriguing.
