Bøker av James Opie

Highly illustrated in colour with photographs of rare toy soldier sets, figures and vehicles, this book documents the rise and fall of the 20th Century British Toy Industry reflected in the history of its most successful company.

This serves as an update of the author's successful Collecting Toy Soldiers (Collins, 1987; pbk edition, New Cavendish, 1991). In it James Opie gives the collector the benefit of thirty years' experience as the world's leading authority on traditional toy soldiers (as opposed to model soldiers used in wargaming etc) and a lifetime as a collector himself.
