"Pure bottled nostalgia in all the best ways... I have a serious issue with Jim Beard's collection of memories that is "The Joy of Joe" - it's TOO SHORT!!! I had the good fortune to pick up a hard copy of this book at JoeCon 2018, and finding myself stuck at the airport for far too long, I opened up this little gem and started reading. I devoured the whole thing in one sitting and immediately started cursing Jim and his fellow editors, Bill Nedrow and Justin Bell, for not including more of these delightful, heartfelt, amusing essays on what little plastic soldiers bring to our lives. It was amazing how all these different tales, from all these different people, could remind you repeatedly of your own adventures playing with the same of similar toys as a kid. Kudos to Jim for assembling such an impressive bunch of Joe Fans. But next time, Jim, maybe get twice as many - I would've liked to have had something to read on the plane as well. "
Thanks again, Jason.
Bobby
