Newcomer to dinky toys?
I bought this book because i came to notice how valuable some of these toys can be. I wanted some way of valuing dinky toys as i had a couple to sell. The book itself is well presented and to the point with introductions to various categories to toys such as CARS, VANS, BUSES etc. There are quite a few colour pictures of various toys but most identification is through text with a small description and what colours the model is available in. It is a very useful book if you are a newcomer like myself but if you are a serious collector or dealer you may feel the book is not indepth enough. For quick rough valuations though it is well worth getting and good value.

SMALL BUT PERFECT
Includes comprehensive guide to all Dinky Toys with prices, reference nos. production period, colours, etc.
