Wham-O Super-Book
By Tim Walsh
Softcover, 192 pages (retail $19.95)
From its humble origins (a wooden slingshot!) to its heyday astraddle an empire of baby boomer playthings, the Wham-O “fun factory” is practically synonymous with inexpensive, far-out, kids-just-gotta-have-it toys. This colorful salute to the company behind the Frisbee, the Hula Hoop, Silly String and Hacky Sacks also points the playful way to hundreds of other, lesser-known Wham-O delights, like Instant Fish, the 27-Color Pencil and SuperElasticBubblePlastic. Super-Book paints a rainbow of retro-toy memories.
