Other toy car books on the market often narrow the feature to specific manufacturers or types of cars; such as die-cast: but if it's one 'bible' packed with info you wish, make it the second edition of Dana Johnson's TOY CAR COLLECTOR'S GUIDE (1574324586 $24.95), which packs in identification and values tips for all kinds of cars, from diecast and metal to miniatures. While primarily serving as a price guide, TOY CAR COLLECTOR'S GUIDE also includes small color photos to aid in identification. Linda Crowsey's COLLECTOR'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MADAME ALEXANDER DOLLS 1948-1965 (1574324446, $24.95) provides identification and values paired with good-sized color photos of each featured doll--and special notes, such as 'missing headpiece' or clothes descriptions. These notes help collectors get a sense for what makes each doll valuable, what photos are missing details, and what features enhance a doll's appearance. A good, solid guide.
