My Palitoy Story - by Bob Brechin

Researched and written by Bob Brechin and designed by Brian Hickey, this book provides a comprehensive insight into one of the most iconic toy manufacturers of the 20th Century, documenting its inception, rise to prominence and eventual dissolution. This team will deliver a meticulously researched insight into the history of Palitoy and the British toy industry, presented in a beautiful 256 page hardbound coffee table book.

Throughout its pages, Bob provides his first hand account of Palitoy’s rise to prominence and details how globalisation of the toy industry enacted sweeping changes that would transform the industry forever, leading to the demise of Palitoy and many of its contemporaries.

As well as featuring the toys, the book will tell the story of the people behind Palitoy, with first hand accounts from many of its staff collected by the author through personal interviews and research of contemporary publications.

Celebrating the creativity, ingenuity and vision of Palitoy’s team, this book is a highly visual experience for its readers. This hardbound coffee table book contains 256 full colour pages and is beautifully printed and bound, making it an essential addition to every toy collector’s library.
