4.0 out of 5 stars
In-depth study, but lacking in comprehensiveness, May 15, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Die Cast Price Guide: Post-War: 1946 to Present (Paperback)
Doug Kelly's new book is a nice addition to a toy collector's library. But with only 125 brands mentioned in the book, it doesn't cover even half of the known brands of diecast and related automotive toys and models. Another book, Collectors Guide to Diecast Toys and Scale Models (by Dana Johnson, $19.95 from Collector Books, ISBN 0-89145-693-7) covers 416 such brands, with another 150 brands discovered since it's 1996 release. (Over 560 brands will be included in the second edition scheduled for 1998.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A greatly appreciated resource!, June 2, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Die Cast Price Guide: Post-War: 1946 to Present (Paperback)
The Die Cast Price Guide will be a greatly appreciated resource for
collectors of post-war die cast vehicular toys and models, from Hot Wheels
and Matchbox to Tootsietoys, Dinky Toys, Burago, Danbury Mint and Franklin
Mint. The author explains how die cast vehicles are produced; what
constitutes "near mint"; how to ask the right price and how to interpret
today's market.
