Book excerpt: In the years following World War II, the major export from Japan wasn't electronic equipment, but toys, specifically tin toys. In one of the most popular motifs were toy robots. Constructed from the 1940s through the 1960s, they ranged in appearance from horror to science-fiction characters. Capturing this period in history became a passion for painter Eric Joyner, and in Robots and Donuts he celebrates this forgotten era with images marrying the metal creations with images plucked from his imagination. And, almost always, with donuts. (Why? Well, who doesn't love donuts?) This limited edition hardcover will features a numbereed tip-in plate signed by the artist! - Includes a signed-and-numbered tip-in sheet featuring an exclusive image not in the regular edition softcover!
