Drawing on her memories of growing up in New York City during the 1950s and 1960s, Pam DuBois revisits the toys, games, television tie-ins, premiums, and neighborhood pastimes that defined a generation in Yesterday Once More - A Celebration of Vintage Toys. From tin Ferris wheels, Marx toys, board games, jacks, spinning tops, and mechanical banks to Easy-Bake Ovens, Creepy Crawlers, Captain Kangaroo merch-andise, cereal-box prizes, and dime-store treasures, each object opens the door to a story.

​

Part memoir, part social history, and part visual celebration, the book explores not only what children played with, but why those toys mattered. DuBois’ personal recollections are paired with vivid images of vintage toys and memorabilia, creating a nostalgic record of a world before screens dominated childhood.
