The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute by Zac Bissonnette

5.0

I received a free copy through the First Reads program.

I remember vividly how, in my opinion, the country collectively lost it's mind over these bean bag animals. This book does a fantastic job at dissecting the craze from beginning to end - the author really spells out how each piece of the puzzle had to appear in the right place and the right time, and why we probably won't see anything like it ever again. Well-researched (even without input from Ty Warner himself) and compelling throughout.
