Intro to Farm Toy Collecting,
By "buckeye54" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toy Farm Tractors: An Entertaining History of Toy Tractors and Toy Farm Collectibles (Hardcover)
This book was a disappointment. This gives the reader a intro to farm toy collecting. It is not a resource book. The the average farm toy collector, there is not any new information in this book. It is for the beginner.
