Building Toys: An Architect's Collection documents over 100
architectural building toys from the author's collection, from the
mid-1800s to the present, from the U.S. and abroad. Each toy has an
immersive two-page spread celebrating its unique features with
photos of packaging graphics, component parts, assembly diagrams,
and a built example designed and constructed by the author.
Well-researched background information on designers and company
histories provides intriguing facts which complete each toy's
description. When taken together, these stories reveal a microcosm
of western commercial and industrial history, illustrating trends
in design, advertising, and material production techniques. The
book is organised by toy material (natural wood, metal, plastic,
etc.), creating six "chapters." It includes a two-page introduction
which reflects the author's role as architect, photographer, and
collector. There are approximately 250 pages giving a dynamic
visual portrayal of a seldom seen world.

As a child, John Rock spent hours tracing the outlines of
exotically-named nations and dreaming of the adventures that lay in
wait within their borders. He shaped his childhood fascination into
an international career that has taken him to more than 145
countries around the globe. In Paseando, John recounts the colorful
characters and evocative locations of his global adventures with a
keen eye for detail and provocative observations about the
universalities and idiosyncrasies of the human condition. His
thoughtful narrative weaves culture, travelogue, personal journey,
and one man's wryly hilarious and often moving perspective into an
utterly engaging tapestry.
