HOW TO GO COLLECTING MODEL SOLDIERS

Henry Harris. A5 hardback. Illustrated in black and white. If you lived in Chiswick (West London) during the 1960's and could never get this book from the public library, that would be my fault, I had it more or less permanently out on loan. This book had a significant influence on my development as a collector and a similar effect on many others of my generation. The author guides you through the steps towards building a collection, based on his own, which covers the British army 1880-1918. The pictures of his figure conversions are an inspiration to budding modelers, the text is entertaining and accessable.
