Book excerpt: This new reference and price guide presents an informative 'personal' history of the former Marx Toys Company plant at Glen Dale, West Virginia, where many of the fondly remembered Marx Playsets, doll houses, and toy figures of the 'baby boomer' era were created and manufactured. More than just a catalogue of these ever-popular and eminently affordable toys, this book provides Marx toy collectors with new insights into the planning and production processes employed by the original 'king' of American toy makers. Included are insightful interviews with Glen Dale plant model maker and with the son of a Marx artist, along with previously unpublished photos of a number of Marx toy and figure prototypes. With publication authorised by the current owner of the Marx Toys trademark, this book provides a unique and valuable behind-the-scenes look into the production of one of America's premier toy manufacturers.

Now, with Louis named “Toy King” by Time Magazine, he faces his greatest challenge ever. Television advertising is putting competitors in the homes of children and Louis refuses to manipulate a child’s desires with TV ads. ... Meanwhile the firm is at its height and Louis’ designers Frank Rice and Al Bagg and Ed Hjelte are turning out the greatest playsets the world has ever known: The Giant Blue & Gray, Battleground, Wagon Train and many more, each complete with figures, accessories like forts and horses and equipment, a miniature world of their own in a single carton. These become so successful that Louis is opening factories in England, Hong Kong and Germany. Here is their story, a personal and industrial history told for the first time by the men and women who lived it and created the astonishing miniature worlds in a box. Interviews include Charles Marx, at the firm from the mid-1950’s until the end, Ed Furie, Marx’ personal assistant and a top salesman during the same period, Frank Rice and Al Bagg, playset designers of Battleground, Fort Apache, Iwo Jima, Guns of Navarone and many others. You hear from them throughout the history of the firm making “Toy Kings” Volumes I and II the bountiful, definitive reference works on the Marx company and the heyday of 1950’s & 60’s toys and playsets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have revised my first publication to an 8.5" x 11" format. I have collected MARX Playsets for over thirty years. Until I retired they sat in my attic collecting dust. After I retired I dusted them off and set them up taking pictures which I then turned into books like this one. What I've learned from being a collector is this, at some point you have to do something with all this stuff. I've spent a lot of money over the years and in hindsight if a book like this one had been available I would have purchased it. It would have saved me money and work because setting these playsets were work and nothing like I remember as a kid playing with them. If you are a MARX toy enthusiast I believe you'll enjoy my books on these great toys. Thank you, Gary

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing developments in toy making and marketing across the evolving landscape of the 20th century, this encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference guide to America's most popular playthings and the culture to which they belong. From the origins of favorite playthings to their associations with events and activities, the study of a nation's toys reveals the hopes, goals, values, and priorities of its people. Toys have influenced the science, art, and religion of the United States, and have contributed to the development of business, politics, and medicine. Toys and American Culture: An Encyclopedia documents America's shifting cultural values as they are embedded within and transmitted by the nation's favorite playthings. Alphabetically arranged entries trace developments in toy making and toy marketing across the evolving landscape of 20th-century America. In addition to discussing the history of America's most influential toys, the book contains specific entries on the individuals, organizations, companies, and publications that gave shape to America's culture of play from 1900 to 2000. Toys from the two decades that frame the 20th century are also included, as bridges to the fascinating past—and the inspiring future—of American toys.

Book excerpt: (Softcover) The never before told biographical and industrial history of Louis Marx & Co. as told by the men who lived it, through the creation of the world's largest toy company. Louis Marx, world traveler and inventor struggles to build his company from renting toy factories to building them internationally with his brother Dave at the height of the 1920's as they seek the "red hot hit" --that toy which is so popular it sells in millionaire-making numbers climaxing with their greatest hits, the Marx Playset. It’s exciting text and rare images as Louis Marx, merry son of a poor immigrant tailor, claws his way to the top of a crowded toy world by inventing toy after toy and hiring -- through intuition and luck -- exactly the right men at precisely the right time to deliver what every toy firm needs, the “red hot hit.” Explore the formerly secret firm and hear from the men who lived the story, as Marx toys develop from primitive tin into the full-blown Marx playset of the Baby Boomer era. It is profusely illustrated and features the newly discovered, never before published scrapbooks of Louis Marx himself. MARX: TOY KINGS is intended as the complete epic, a defining work on the development of the Marx playset from the earliest days of Louis Marx & Company to its demise using factual accounts, testimonials and eye-witness interviews.This “inside-the-halls-of-Marx” story is the bountiful, definitive reference book on the Marx company and the beginning of playsets impeccably researched and written by Rusty Kern, publisher of Playset Magazine, America’s only source of information on vintage playsets and plastic figures. It is not a picture book on playsets, although playsets and toys are shown. Volume I covers 1919-1955; Volume II covers from about 1955-demise of the firm, and Volume III centers on playsets.Stay up to date by clicking your way to: www.PlaysetMagazine.com

Groucho and Frank aren't enjoying their latest costar, singing child prodigy Polly Pilgrim, a spoiled ingenue. When a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon is found dead in his palatial home, and Polly's mother, the faded actress Frances London, is accused of his murder, Polly's request for Groucho and Frank to help prove her mother's innocence surprises them. She is convinced that Frances has been framed, and despite the mounting evidence against the washed-up perfromer, the pair takes on the case.

Book excerpt: Dinosaurs have fascinated people since their discovery over two centuries ago. Perhaps the most endearing of the dinosaur collectibles to many people are the lines of figures and playsets produced by the Louis Marx Toy Company. The figures have attained a near iconic status among collectors of dinosaur toys and memorabilia. Often considered something of a "baby sister" to the Marx dinosaur line is the series of prehistoric figures and playsets put out by the Multiple Products Corporation (MPC) at roughly the same time period. Often confused with one another, the dinosaur output of these two companies has shaped the perception of what these prehistoric beasts were like in the minds of generations of children and adults. Unfortunately, until now there has not been an abundance of detailed information available concerning these popular lines of prehistoric toys, and much of what is out there can be wildly inaccurate, frustrating, and confusing to the beginner and serious collector alike. Written with the novice collector in mind, this book starts at the basics, with brief histories of each company, the mold groupings used for the dinosaur figures, discussions of the figures and accessories themselves, and (most significantly), over 190 full color photographs of every major playset available at this time of writing. This represents the most comprehensive work on the prehistoric playsets of these two companies to date. Information is also presented concerning the various reissue and knock-off sets that were produced by other companies, as well as additional items and games that were directly based on the Marx and/or MPC prehistoric output. Also included is a handy guide to each playset covered in this book, with a listing of its contents, year of production, and model number. This is the book that Marx and MPC dinosaur collectors have been waiting for
