Dinky Toys (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Great pictures and detail information. I have many Dinky Toys. Easy to use to identify Dinky's by numbers. I like approximate values. Dr. Force thanks for the insight and effort. I also have your Lledo Toy bought. I will buy others as I find them. Cordially, David

Excellent info

Yes, I like this book (the 7th edition). I had an earlier one but it's lost so I can't compare them directly. For Dinky collectors this is a must - if only for photographs of models not seen in other books. The price guide is included because it supposedly helps sell the book, but "guide" is the operative word. Prices have increased a lot as any web search will show. In my opinion the 'bible' for Dinky Toys remains the Richardson's "Great Book of Dinky Toys", but Dr. Force compliments it with more photographs even though the majority are only side views. I salute all these efforts to document the production of these great toys realizing that the perfect book might well be too costly to produce. It is easy to critcize the efforts but these have to be tempered with the realization of the work involved by enthusiasts who add so much knowledge and enjoyment to our love of Dinky Toys.

Awesome book on Dinky toys that I enjoy reading

This is an excellent book, very detailed, lots of pics. The prices as in most books seem a little high.

was just what I was looking for

this book is awesome

The photos are fine but there is no real effort to display the differant cars, planes, military etc. They are just all bunched up. The price guide is handy but thy could have left out the old style of pricing.

Produit conforme à l'annonce

Perfect if you collect dinky toys and if you refurbish them shows you the colours and decals you need
