I am pleased to announce the offering of a special Limited Author's Edition of 150 Copies, which includes the following items in the "package":

  • Your choice of a First Edition or 2010 Second Printing book with special frontispiece signed and numbered with a unique author's hologram.
  • A signed certificate with matching hologram on which is mounted an authentic small piece of the stairway of Lionel's Irvington, New Jersey fun factory.
  • A Lionel Patent Archives CD containing over 450 patent copies -- over 1,600 pages of Lionel and Ives patents and trademarks.  This unique archive includes many with the rare patent owner's front page in full color!
  • An original and new 1969 Lionel catalog with a front cover autograph of Robert Stein, Lionel executive who in 1969 managed the Hillside factory.
  • A new and original copy of a 1948 issue of Lionel's Model Builder magazine, different than the issue illustrated.
  • A 1980's reproduction pin (and marked as such) of the 1960 Lionel Rail Road Company, which is featured in the Fun Factory book.
