Small boys and big boys wants the same things : TOYS. It's just the price that change depending on the age.

This book is fantastic. I found also a site where there is a lot of very impressing luxury tous : http://www.europaluxury.com

Compiled and edited by Anja Oriol, Luxuary Toys is a beautifully illustrated, 219-page, coffee-table showcase of things that only the fabulously wealthy can afford: Gulfstream private jets, Ferretti and Wally yachts, Ferrari and Bentley cars, and more. Very little text introduces these photographic galleries, but the writings that are present are in English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. The majority of Luxury Toys is devoted entirely to vibrant, full-page color photographs and some technical specifications charts. For those who do not have millions of dollars to burn, Luxury Toys is an incredible showcase of high-priced and lavish vehicles, and the next best thing to visiting expensive auto, boat, or plane shows.

This book is inspiring. If you have ever dreamed of living in the lap of luxury; this book is sure to set the pace. I was skeptical about ordering a used copy of this book because I wanted to be the first to thumb through it's pages. Sort of like buying your first Bentley... Windsor Blue over Light Windsor Blue, Windsor Blue interior, Burr Oak trim and chrome wheels. Your first glance gives you the impression of a long quiet ride home, down a winding country road; listening to your favorite classical tune all while readying for the slow turn onto your long driveway that leads you to the graceful gates of your newly constructed Mediterranean Casa overlooking the Pacific ocean. You suddenly realize, that YOU, My friend, MUST turn the page!.... I'm not the only dreamer!

I spotted this coffee table book while working in an Archetects office and thought my two grown boys might enjoy perusing it's pages so I searched and found two like new copies, one on Amazon, and got them both for under $30 total...good buy!

I was very happy with the book. But, Amazon takes too long to ship products. It arrived several days after I expected it and therefore missed Valentines day. I just ordered some perfume through amazon March 3, it shipped on March 7 and not scheduled to deliver until March 20. I order lots of itmes on line and Amazon is the slowest vendor .

The best wish list ever! Everyone should have these toys at least for once in a lifetime.
