Among all topics that Xavier Arumí’s books deal with, Playmobil is (or
was) for me the most uninteresting, that’s why this book is the last one I read
from all those that he has written. I have now read all of them, and I can now
say, this one is the best written together with the one he dedicated to Exin.
I enjoyed this book quite a lot: maybe it was because I knew nothing
about Playmobil, so I could learn many new facts about this toy-line, maybe simply
because Geobra and Plamobil are amazing companies under the control of extraordinary
people (Horst Branstätter, manager and Hans Beck, designer).
I have to say that after reading this book, I will recover my old
Playmobils (they’re somewhere in a box), and I’ll check if they’re complete, in
good shape and clean for new blog entries. After learning a bit about these
figures, you see them in a different way.
As usual, this book is available at Bubok.es and has a price of 14,00
Euros (+shipping costs) or 3,75
in eBook format. Find it here:
This book was recommended by Bubok, in its Youtube channel during
December 2010.
About the autor: Xavier Arumí is the host of www.rosaspage.com,
has already written a few books about collecting and about toys, comic
books (that he also illustrate), and novels. He is a collector himself,
and as you can check on his website, or reading his books, a great
expert on toys, apart from a good writer. Two of his publications are: "Exin: Su Historia" and "Bburago: Su Etapa Clásica".
