index was added to this web site in January 2010 and was significantly
updated a year later. It currently covers Issues 1
to 65. As anyone, I do make mistakes. Please inform me of any
errors, omissions, and suggested improvements at ericjohns@roadrunner.com. I
will be happy to make corrections. When I first put this index together, Rusty Kern suggested that I add "playset theme" categories so that, for example, a collector interested in a medieval theme could quickly scroll down to "Medieval Playsets" and find information on such items produced by all companies. With a little arm-twisting, I agreed. However, this greatly expanded the index, and somehow the end product did not look quite right. It was too big, and it was "messy." (Just call me Mr. Monk!) After much consideration, I decided that including the "playset theme" categories made the index unnecessarily long and complex for people using the index for purposes other than the "playset theme" categories. Therefore, I have divided the index into two sections, both included on this one web page. You can begin your search by clicking below on either 1) Section A: Listing by Toy Companies and General Topics or 2) Section B: Listing by Playset Themes. Toy companies are, of course, listings of playset items by manufacturer name. General Topics include information on such articles as how-to techniques, interviews, playset-related DVDs, toy soldier shows, and publications. I have also added colors to help you during your search. Section A starts with black main topics; Section B has dark blue main topics. Sub-topics are in other colors, in an attempt to keep you on track as you scroll down the index. (Many of us are now old enough to use all the help we can get!) If this is your first time using this index, there are a few notes just below that might be helpful in your search. I hope you find this index useful. Enjoy! |
