Thanks LHAAP
 I take it the "Geobra company history" is on the right side for 16,95 ?

Of course I should have written which one of them it was :-[ Actually it's the book on the left which is Geobra company history and the book to the right is "the history of the world"  :)

The company history isn't a bad deal.  You get a lot of information about the early marketing and development strategies during the 1970s and early 1980s.

After that, the details soften up and the pictures take over.  Controversial stuff--like the decision to go to system X or change the style of horses isn't mentioned.  You get some good photos of manufacturing equipment, but nothing like a "day-in-the-life" in the process of designing a new Playmobil theme is addressed.  Maybe stuff like that is considered trade secret.

It focuses on marketing, I'd say, and has the sunny-side-up flavor of a corporate brochure.  But, I enjoyed reading it.

Does anyone have a critique of the world history book?  It's not available through PM USA.  Do they do a good job at the "customizing" for the scenes?

I've just ordered the book so it should be with me in about week!  :D
At the publisher's website (where I've ordered the book) there is also a new book available this autumn. It's, just like the predecessor,
a diorama book, this time with animals and from the same author (Richard Unglik).
So, Timotheos, please be patient and I shall give you my comments on the world history book next week :klickywink:

Wow! This book looks and sounds very interesting. 8-)

  • 94 pages
  • 230 x 300mm
  • many colour photos

I put the publisher's description through babelfish to try and get a better idea of the content.
It's a bit of a mess but you can still get a rough idea:

Quote
The author - just like Playmobil a child of the 70's - places books behind for his alive Dioramas with Playmobil figures and sets her afterwards computer-animated in scene. In its new book it is occupied in this way with the world of the animals, beginning with the dinosaurs over horses and cats up to fabulous creatures like the unicorn. In playful way he presents the individual animal species in their respective habitats to us.

Can't wait to see some inside pages! :D
