Men’s Toys. A More or
Less Complete Collection
of the Vital Things in Life
Illustrated Gift Book
Men like their toys. Where does this passion spring from? The secret is finally out. Stage
by stage. In detail.
Everyone talks about how women like shopping and men don’t. A man goes hunting. For
example, when he needs just that one watch with the special features or, of course, that
particular car – not just for driving along the road but for steering superbly when cutting
corners. Men prefer seizing on toys which are technically perfect and perfectly designed –
and have that special something. This book is the first genuine compendium of all the
important objects which men dream about. It reveals secrets known only to a few and will
amaze you with exciting details.

magazines such as Stern, Playboy and Wirtschaftswoche
and has come to be very familiar with the door handles
of most leading advertising agencies. For Cadeau he has
provided two books of cartoons: Be happy and Don’t
worry
