Can we have a thread on toy related books?
Could be about making toys, history of toys, books on specific sub genres of toys, anything.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

It all depends on what kinda toys you like.
I like robot and space toys, always have and I'm a kid of the 60's.
Toy books I like are a mix of retro and new toys. Takara SF Land is a great book looking at all boy their lines. Machine Robo Wedge is a great history of the MachineRobo/Gobots line. Sunrise Brave Series Toy Collection is fun as well.

I have a few monthy Hobby Japan magazines (buy them every once in awhile). I also have some books on obscure keshigomu toy lines by Mandarake.
It is weird we don't have toy magazines in America anymore, at least not that I am aware of. Maybe modeling magazines have toy stuff in it though.

Kind of related to your topic OP: Does anyone know if you can make a book on toy lines and make a profit off of it? I wanted to make a catalog book on a certain toy line, but didn't want to get sued. I'd think if I did, it'd fall under giving new information to a product, so it would be fine. Just not confident enough on that. I'd make it for free, but want to make a physical product of it too.

probably because it's focused on the American collectors market, another author has done a couple TF collectors guides though with one volume specifically covering the Japanese and International G1 stuff

Keep in mind that if you're collecting the Dark Horse MotU books, there will be a companion volume to the Character Guide and World Compendium released at the same time, but will only be available with the purchase of the Toy Guide on the Power-Con website. I hated having to pass on the Toy Guide at my LCS, where I bought all the other ones, but I told them why. They didn't agree with the tactics used, but understood.

They're dragging their feet, as usual. It did take them almost a month to cancel the con after SDCC went down. Knowing them, they won't post it until they have the books in hand, which could be anywhere from August to Jan-Feb. Just keep your eyes peeled.
