Robots and spaceships are only a very small fraction of the "1000" pictures. Apparently, the book was formerly titled, "1000 Tin Toys" which is much more accurate. ### More than a tin soldier More than a tin soldier. 1000 Tin Toys by Teruhisa Kitahara, photographed by Yuko Shimizu. Call this book the mother of all collecting books. It is a vast compendium of photographs of 1,000 tin toys collected by obsessive Japanese master collector Teruhisa Kitahara. A visual feast of full-color photos that gives one pause to consider Kitaharas life work of collecting. Truth be told, an inspiration for artists, designers, photographers, tin toy collectors, and children of any age. Why would anyone want to own this book? For the same reason that anyone would collect over 1000 tin toys- the sheer delight of it. ### More than a tin soldier 1000 Tin Toys by Teruhisa Kitahara, photographed by Yuko Shimizu.
