Great Book of Dinky Toys

This brand new book by the Dinky experts benefits from a further eighteen years of research and collecting which has brought to light more information as well as extensive and previously lost articles from the '30s.

Mike and Sue Richardson have been toy collectors
for over 40 years and experts on die cast toys.

Highly recommended for research and model identification.
