(*NOTE: There are some copies of this book being sold by other sellers on eBay and they are being advertised as "NEW", even though the photos show shots of the title page with a previous dedication from the author to the former owner....these are obviously not "new" if they have already been signed by the author to a specific person.....the only way to actually get a BRAND NEW, unread copy straight from the printer is to buy from the author directly.....HERE!!!)
Dinosaurs are a fascinating subject, and dinosaur figure collecting is at an all-time high. Unfortunately, there is not a plethora of information available on prehistoric-themed items, especially of vintage (pre-1980s) pieces. And what information there is out there is primarily concerned with the plastic dinosaur figures of the Louis Marx Company. However, dozens of other companies produced their own iconic lines of plastic dinosaur figures and playsets. But there has never been a handy reference manual to the dinos from these more obscure companies. Until now.
MORE DINOSAUR PLAYSETS & FIGURES is the first and most complete guide to the prehistoric items put out by such manufacturers as Tim Mee Toys, Ajax, Nabisco, Invicta, and more. These figures are often confused with the more well-known models released by Marx, and this is the most comprehensive reference work available concerning these oftentimes enigmatic and confusing dinosaur toys.
This second edition retains the many clear color photos and concise descriptions of all these prehistoric dinosaurs as its earlier edition, but also includes NEWLY WRITTEN chapters on the lead-based metal prehistoric figures of Sel-Right Giftware (SRG) of the 1930s thru the 1950s AND the hollow plastic blow-molded dinos from the J.H. Miller Company!
