Sara: The Time-Life series "The Encyclopedia of Collectables" is one of the nicest visual surveys of popular culture items that I have run across. I had it transferred to our art library years ago and keep it in our reference collection. Although it's far from comprehensive, it's a delightful smattering of realia from the last two centuries. Drama people love it for objects found in period environments. You should check there. Lee Sorensen Duke -----Original Message----- From: ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY DISCUSSION LIST [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sara J. MacDonald Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 1:55 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Researching give-away/"free toy" objects Dear ARLIS members, I have a senior graphic design major who wants to do her senior thesis (they design a book) on the little give-away toys and action figures that come in boxes of tea, Cracker Jack, fast food meals, etc. Can any of you recommend any sources for research on this kind of object? The closest I've come is some articles on WilsonWeb which I found under the subject PREMIUMS/COLLECTORS AND COLLECTING. The only books I've found are the price guide sort of books. When I was little and went to the dentist we got to choose a free little rubber animal - wish I had them now! Thanks very much - Sara ------------------------------------------- Sara J.
