"In November 1983, the world witnessed the beginnings of Cabbage Patch Madness, a Phenomenon unrivaled in intensity and impact in the annals of Americal Poplular Culture. Across the land, in virtually every major city, young adults, middle aged parents, even kindly grandmothers were risking life and limb, joining legions of unruly shoppers in their attempts to purchase one of Coleco's Cabbage Patch Kids, cuddly stuffed dolls many would call ugly...the face only a mother could love. The father of the Kids, Xavier Roberts, was a north Georgia mountain boy who rose from poverty to become an indispensible force for Coleco, a multi-million dollar titan in the toy and game industry." A wonderful and interesting book that would be hard to find just anywhere, especially signed. Add this one to your collection of signed books now! *4BC6
