Thiis is an iconic book on the collecting of toy soldiers. The miniature armies of yesteryear come to life in the pages of this book and you will learn about the beginnings of toy soldiers and the histories of the major toy soldier makers in the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. Add this to over 300 photos of many of the rarest toy soldiers in existence, and you have the best book ever published on this subject. There is substantial edge and corner wear on the DJ especially o n the top of the spine (see the scans), but this book is still in very good condition and SIGNED BY ONE OF THE AUTHORS. No collection of books on toy soldiers is complete without this classic. Check out the scan for the cover and the spine, the signature, and just a few of the fabulous photos of vintage toy soldiers in this book, and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print. All previous buyers of my books on collecting have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice for the appropriate combined shipping discount.
