I'm sorry that there is no photo of the cover of this book. if you happen to collect toy soldiers of any type this may be your book, at least to dream. I collect mostly knights (though I have some plastic soldiers of other types English Civil War etc. and some Britians metal of the cerimonial guard, some other misc. soldiers).
I have some knights painted by the maker and some I've painted myself. This book will give you a sort of overview (mostly I suppose now of the history) of the hobby. Like most other collecting hobbies you can spend a few dollars (or whatever is your applicable currency) or many thousands (or even millions I suppose). Being of a more modest finical level mostly I can look at this book and others and dream. Still I enjoy them and the memories they bring back. If you to enjoy this hoby I hope you can find the book.
