Review: Robots and Spaceships

Robots and Spaceships Robots and Spaceships by Taschen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A beautiful little book of photographs of space-themed tin toys of the 50s & 60s. Seeing so many causes some themes to develop: robots are generally humanoid but our most common real robots (Roomba, drones, bomb handlers) are not. Lots of space tanks were spawned by the Cold War era. These Japanese toys have Western astronauts, often blond.
