2 comments about Frog Model Aircraft 1932-1976: The Complete History of the Flying Aircraft & the Plastic Kits.
- This is just about the best model reference book that I know of. Even if you've never seen a Frog model aircraft or kit, it's written with such verve and enthusiasm that you'll want to start collecting them before you reach the end! This should be the model (if you'll excuse the pun) for anyone contemplating the production of a similar company history. Great illustrations and a very comprehensive reference section at the back. I paid the equivalent of $50 for my copy and it is worth every cent.
- Frog, Flies right off the Ground, The model company that started before Airfix and ended with its moulds being sold to the Soviet Union in the day's of the Cold War.
This book is not only a history of Frog but an interesting social history of Great Britain. An advert for Frog appears in the book stating that making models during the Blackout helped stop boredom !!
The early Penguins are covered as well as the flying models.
A tribute to Frog must be that the moulds are still be used to this day in Russia and still sold here.
This book is one that will be picked up again and again, I highly recommend this volume to anybody with more than a passing interest in Model Aircraft

1 comments about Have Yourself a Beary Little Christmas (The Boyds Collected Ltd).
- We have this book in our Christmas collection for our coffee table. Children and adults alike enjoy it. It is quite secular except for the bears dressed as angels but compliments our other books that address the real meaning of Christmas. It is a light read and fun to look at.

1 comments about Bru Dolls: Magnificent French Dolls.
- This book was written in German in 1986 and translated into English in 1989.
The background material on the House of Bru is very informative, describing the differences and changes in doll face and body development as well as doll markings during the ownership of Bru, Chevrot and Girard. There are lovely color photos of the dolls produced during each period. The translation, though always understandable, at times clearly reflects German rather than English grammar. (I actually enjoyed it.)
I had fun reading about the House of Bru and poring over the wonderful photographs of these lovely dolls. The price is right, especially compared with more recent books written about Bru dolls.
