4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference book for top collectors
This book is an excellent picture resource as well as a price guide. It cover tops and Yo Yos which are devided into collectors sections.

It is a must for any top collector...

Not the whole top, just part of it. Didn't even seem to know what it was,...

It is strong on Advertising tops but rather weak in the area of the really old tops (say pre 1930) This is not the fault of the book, as one presumes that few really old tops come on to the market. It is a must for any top collector considering the paucilty of books on this tiopic.
