Publisher's Synopsis
Whether you are wondering what the toy cars, and trucks at the bottom of your toychest are worth, or are a serious collector, this new book will be useful to you. Ed Force, one of America's foremost collectors and experts on miniature toy vehicles, catalogues and shows in full color all of the latest Matchbox toys made from 1983-1987 and presents the first comprehensive look at the new world of Lledo Toys vehicles. The Matchbox toys section brings Schiffer Publishing's coverage up-to-date, taking up where Nancy Schiffer's Matchbox Toys stopped off and bringing the reader information and full-color photographs of the most recent models. The Lledo Toys section introduces that company's line of miniature "antique" vehicles, many of the horse drawn varieties, and opens up a whole new field of collecting to enthusiasts. Ed Force also provides helpful background information and history which will increase the fun of collecting them. Included in Matchbox and Lledo Toys is a current price guide, an immense help to those involved in this fast growing hobby.
