perfect! i got it and love it.

as a follow-up, do you know how i could purchase some of the actual toys? i don't even know where i might begin, especially living in the U.S.

the same e-mail contact:) you can buy three inflatable toys: a buffalo, giraffe and elephant, it is a special reedition (no other toys are produced anymore) which are considered much more as rare collectible objects than real toys now. thanks for your interest!

Hi saw your book in the Paul Smith Store in New York city and loved it. Congratulation. It is a wonder book.
