This is the only book to survey the trend, catalogue and depict the full range of objects, and gauge the correct price levels. Even those who have not built a collection will be fascinated by the spirited product histories of the original Atari console, the Walkman, and the Betamax (which proves that every age has its Edselthe product technically superior but destined to fail in the marketplace).

It will start you wondering how much the brand new Ipod will be worth in a few decades...The book includes an impressive guide to where to buy these collectibles and which websites to use.
