I enjoyed the trip down memory lane; however, all the pictures are in black and white. Would have enjoyed it much more if there were color pictures.

It is true, as the previous commentator said, that if you are looking for a specific 1979-80's toy or doll book, then this may (or may not) be a book for you. This book only covers a few of the 1000's of toys offered by SEARS, during the 1970's to 1980's. The Sears re-prints in this book are only from the Sears' Christmas catalogs. I still enjoyed the book for it's historical value. I liked looking through the pages of the 1970 SEARS WISHBOOKS, especially the photos that are no longer in print.(Note: not all the photos are in color, since many SEARS catalog photos from that Era were not in color). Some of the early Mod-Era SEARS catalogs are so hard to find now, so it was nice to find a Toy book with some (not all) of the toys from that Era-----though mostly from the Christmas seasons.

I received this book as a gift. I had the book less than 5 minutes and wanted to return it. The book contains only a few pages from each catalog, so if you're looking for a particular type of toy, you are not assured of it being one of the ones chosen for that year. In addition, even though the original catalogs were in color, the pages in this book are an inferior quality of paper with black and white pictures...VERY disappointing. I have similar books in the same price range, all of which contain thick, full-color glossies. Overall, content and quality make me give this 1 star.
