      I received my copy today--this is a fantastic book! Chock full of photos and interviews, it's one of the nicest books about toys I've owned. My French is quite degraded and I'm sure I'm missing some fascinating minutiae, but I was able to get the gist of it. So far, I've particularly enjoyed the interview with Mattel designer Carol Spencer, Big Jim's outfitter.

      Not much in it was new to me, but it's all so beautifully presented and accessible.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              Talk about fast shipping! I already received this book and it's an absolute treat to hold in person. This treatment is EXACTLY what I felt Big Jim always deserved. Such a long and illustrious run and this book really captures it.

It was free to use. Maybe someone can remember the name of the website. You can scan it or maybe take a picture of it, and use google translate to make it in english.
                UPDATE: I think it's called OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
                Google Translate. A coworker introduced me to it. Put the App on your phone and any language your phones camera sees will be translated to English on your phones view screen. Yeah Technology!
