description: Whether motivated by childhood nostalgia for those beloved Matchbox and Dinky cars, or by a desire to build up a handsome collection of vintage and veteran models, Miller’s Collecting Diecast Vehicles is the essential guide to these miniature autos. It presents this popular collecting area in an informative and in-depth manner, showing more than 320 items in color, and covering all the key Matchbox, Corgi, Dinky, Lledo, and more. Divided into a chronological survey of maker and then a thematic section detailing different kinds of vehicles such as police cars, taxis, and racing cars, it includes advice on assessing identity, age, and condition; how to tell if an item is genuine; and care and display. A glossary with UK and US terms and a directory of auction houses, museums, and toy fairs is included.
