15. About this book
This unscienti c and largely unsubstantiated summary is just for fun
and convenient reference. Please do not count on the information
here for any ‘real’ data or any sort of proof of any sort.
Why this book?
Jay Moneta and Hunter Thomson are not toy experts but
were curious about a few toys and what decade they were from.
We did some research on our own then decided to make a quick
book to refer to for our own purposes. Then we wanted to share.
Hopefully, the informaiton is of value to you.
