Affiliate Link – A History of the Easy-Bake Oven
Shhhh. Don’t anyone tell Gina that the book I bought for her recently — Light Bulb Baking: A History of the Easy-Bake Oven* — is one I also really want to read. Published in 2013, the nearly-200 pages are loaded with colorful photos and lots of great information not just on the Easy-Bake Oven, but also Kenner before the company eventually found its way under Hasbro. Gina’s already read the book so now I get a shot at it . . . we just won’t tell her that all along I was interested in reading this one.
This first definitive retrospective of the Easy-Bake® Oven celebrates its journey from children’s toy to pop culture icon. The book explores the innovation, history, economics, commerce, advertising, and marketing behind the toy’s 50 year history
