Summary: Not Quite a Tour de Force
Review: The positive thing about this book is that it is dedicated to its subject - and therefore unique, as far as I can see. However, it may have become something of an anachronism. It could benefit from its own website! Because the prices can never be as current as those from on-line auctions. It could also benefit from depicting pictures of the models in chronological sequence for easier reference and within typological groups like cars, military etc. The shots used appear to be from a collection and the groupings random. Sorry Edward, but you need updating old son

Summary: A very handsome catalogue
Review: This is a very handsome and useful book, in which all models made by Dinky Toys, even from Hong Kong ,are displayed in color.With exception of the airplanes and some of the extraordinary sets, the models are not photographed in detail. Much information about the models is not given (in my opinion not necessary). At the end, prices are given, but these will certainly vary depending on the state of the model and the availability of an original box. The format of the book is such, that it is very easy to take it with you in your pocket.
