Cardboard Gods
If you're over the age of 20, odds are you grew up knowing the sweet, casino-like surge of euphoria that came from ripping open a pack of baseball cards. Author Josh Wilker knew it as well, and it led him to pen Cardboard Gods ($20). More personal memoir than historical document, this roughly 240-page book looks back at the memories of boyhood as only a man can — through the eyes of childhood toys.
