    What kind of turnaround are you expecting? I know there are numerous printers in Canada, Quebecor being one of them. It must have been significantly cheaper to go overseas like that. Are you going hardbound or soft? This is an amazing thing to see one of our own published like this. Very, very happy for you Brian.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Turnaround is about 5 weeks and then shipping is the extra variable.

      Trust me, I exhausted every opportunity to get this printed in Canada or the States. I work in publishing. My last price quote (for a lower quality digital print) was three times this one, which would have made my book $40.00. I really wanted the book to be $20 and I also ordered what I thought I could sell without any distribution and than I added 50%.

      It's a softbound book and it's really a high quality press job. It will impress.

            Looks like this is going to be interesting. Like that it will cover many different decades. I'm wondering what kind of '80s stuff you will come up with. He-man maybe? (I had a number of those)

            Will this be your first published book?

              In my opinion, AHI had the best rack toys.

                Happy to announce some new developments:



                The book has an official website: www.racktoysbook.com

                And we're on Amazon, if everyone could like it, I'd probably get some notice.


                I'll be offering the book as well and adding freebie postcards, bundling options and the like.

                    Awesome Brian. The dream is becoming a reality. Beyond cool.

                    I have no idea who Mr. Shrinker is...and now I need to know.

                            I'm a huge fan of reference books, catalogs, and anything that can provide knowledge

                            I'm looking forward to this when released.

                            I'll do my best to get the word out for you B,

                            Rick
