This review is from: Antique Motorcycle Toys: Featuring the Collection of "Indian" Al Liebowitz (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)

Antique Motorcyle toys is a richly illustrated book with clear photographs of many makes of lithographed tin toy motorcycles. There is an equal emphasis on early twentieth century toy motorcycles as there is for those produced during the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. The price estimates are good at the time of publication and have remained so in the short to medium term for a number of toy motorcycles. This book [which itself will become a collector's item in time] is designed to appeal in an aesthetic mannner to the reader. All in all a suitable reference for the avid collector .
