Lunchbox Inside and Out: From Comic Books to Cult TV and Beyond

This is a nice colorful book with lots of pictures of classic lunchboxes. This is not a price guide book.

I was really surprised by this book, as I have never collected lunch boxes and don't ever intend to, but I still loved it! As a fellow collector (of vintage toys) I really appreciated the broad overview of the lunch box collecting world. The categories are divided up well, with boxes from all eras and genres shown. The full colour photos are top notch, with alternate views shown when relevant. The descriptions of each box are especially enjoyable, with many interesting and humorous anecdotes included. The only negative thing I could think of was the value/price guide, which uses a certain number of ($) dollar signs to signify approximate worth. I found myself constantly referring back to the start of the book to check values. I think this book would appeal to most readers who have a "collector's soul" but I can't tell you whether or not it is valuable to a seasoned lunch box collector, 'cause I aint one!
