SPIN DOCTOR A COLLECTOR'S LOOK BACK AT OLD GAMES

It's a classic collector's story: 33-year-old Rick Polizzi used to have board games as a kid in New Orleans. But he grew up, threw them out, moved to L.A. Then he saw one in a thrift store three years ago, and his whole childhood swam in front of his eyes. So he began picking up old games for a buck or two each. Now he has 1,000-and he and cowriter Fred Schaefer have produced Spin Again (Chronicle Books), a classily designed, essence-of-stuff-in- the-attic book about board games from the '50s and '60s to remind you of what you, too, stupidly tossed. Your turn.
