Summary: If you don't have this book....you don't know Joe
Review: Tired of skimming through the "rest" of the books about GI Joe, your long time pal and friend? We all were. Joe was reduced to doll duty as a uniform display stand. It wasn't the Joe I remembered from my childhood. If it was the Joe you grew up with, its not too late, become a kid now. Derryl puts Joe in his element. He is fighting the White Tiger (not putting a collar on him for tracking), exploring the ends of the earth, capturing the Intruders, and generally having a great time being Joe. Great photos of Joe in action poses - no stiff, lifeless lump of plastic here, Joe really comes to life. Top off the excellent photos and most accurate price guide available (real value, not the inflated list that antique dealers like to wring out of you) with a very witty storyline and history of Joe. Derryl isn't just smart, he is even pretty funny. Derryl knows Joe. He is an active part of the current Joe collector community. He is available to hundreds and thousands of collectors and is the final source for many of us about variations and general Joe knowledge. If you buy this book, you can't go wrong. I liked this one so much I bought two. I use one almost daily in my collecting, and the other is a great coffee table book.
