Zinnlaube Magazine Vol. 12 2022 -2023 sized softback once a year publication covering all aspects of collecting figures and the related history.

Over 110 pages of articles, plus another 10 of contents, adds, reviews, content listing etc, so one of the biggest editions for many years. Articles include one of my personal favourite subjects, the story of Robinson Crusoe. All articles are illustrated with relevant photos, most of which are in colour, and line drawings, and all are translated into English alongside the original German text.
