Title: more a catalog than set of plans
Review: I looked at a copy of this book, but will freely admit that I did not buy it. Years ago I did purchase (by mail, sight unseen), a copy of the "Strom Classic Toys" that was published in 1983. I was royally offended to find that that 96 page book included 56 pages of a wordy and drawn-out kid's story that my own kids (who love books) never once sat through, and pictures of 28 individual toys and a marina complex of boats, docks, etc. There were, however, plans for only 6 of the individual toys, and only about half of the simplistic marina designs. The rest were listed as plans for sale; the whole thing felt more like a catalog than a book about building toys... This volume continues that format, with a larger proportion of plans included(20/35), but those are less than complete. Perhaps my rejection of this book was partially driven by earlier and long-lived disgust with the predecessor, but there you are.
