 Ed Lincoln – Mr. Pink Toe Truck
At age six, Ed took his first sales job — door to door, peddling homemade Christmas wreathes from his little red wagon. "I learned not to be disappointed by an unopened door," Ed says, "and instead, to move on and keep knocking... I also learned to share my blessings with others less fortunate, and it has been deeply rewarding."
Seattle entrepreneur Ed Lincoln, best known for the Pink Toe Truck, has peddled everything from frogs to Christmas trees to Fun Meters. A lover of cars, risks, and humor, Ed has recorded the heartwarming and hilarious memories of an "average Joe’s" extraordinary life. Packed with pictures of cars, or family, or both, this memoir is sure to make you laugh and to remember adventures of your own.
 Praise
"Ed Lincoln's Pink Toe Truck tickled us all growing up, but it's actually only a footnote to a great American tale. I laughed out loud. This book is pure entertainment!" — Ichabod Caine, Seattle radio personality
