      I have a couple of 'Best Of Jackie' annuals.
      Very nostalgic.

          ah yes! I saw this in a gadget shop in Scotland, but never bought it.
          Just got it from Ebay
          Cheers

              I have Millers Collecting the 60's, Collecting the 70's & Sci-Fi & Fantasy collectables, and Three Jackie books (although 2 seem to be reprints with different covers).
              Just picked up "Ultimate guide to Video Games" too

                    Re: The DYR? Reading List

                    Its just mostly pictures, hardly any info, and a bit over priced for what it is.
                    but If you see one cheap on Ebay, go for it

                      yes I have all the Airfix 'collectors' type books, incl the most recent, 'Airfix's Little Soldiers' which I'm reading now..fab stuff (The 'BBof Airfix' you mention, and his (Arthur Ward's) earlier 'Airfix: Celeberating 50 Yrs...' etc etc are lovely to look at, if a little inaccurate in places)

                      As a collector of all things Airfix (kits, toys, games,soldiers) it'd be pretty poor if I didn't have the relevant reading material (I'm also a member of the Airfix Collecting Forum, and the Airfix Collectors Club )

                      ps agree that the Robert Opie scrapbooks are a feast for the eyes, if a little short on actual facts/info (I have the 60's & 70's ones)
