I've had all the books David Pressland has done on tin toys. All have had excellent print quality and beautiful pictures and this book is no exception. What I really appreciate with his books is that he is not recycling photo's you've seen a dozen times in other sources - he gets access to the toy itself and shoots it just for this publication. In addition, his text is well researched and authoritative. This book is a little smaller in size than some of his earlier ones, and doesn't come with a slip case, but then it also doesn't cost several hundred dollars. If you like classic tinplate toys this is one for your bookshelf.
Very helpful in identifying penny toys. It is almost like a catalog in that there are great photos and few words but the beginnings of different sections like "Aeronautical", some descriptions or short histories are provided. A lovely picture book at the least.
