A publication that is half-magazine, half-catalog, borne of the enthusiasm generated at Jerry Campbell's model airplane/hobby shop in Hazel Park, MI. Eventually the business grew to 12 stores and a significant distribution center. The stores have been closed but the business continues to thrive as an e-commerce enterprise. The issues in this volume evoke the enthusiasm that was parlayed into business success.
