FIM 3 Online
Starting with the on-line work, it has been
decided by the authors (Robert Newson, Peter Wade-Martins and Adrian Little)
that the third volume of Farming in
Miniature (FIM) will be an on-line, real-time upgradable resource, allowing them to add new farm vehicle
toys as they become known, this means that despite the two paper works
containing some pretty rare, unusual or previously unknown toys; the website
will likely carry even rarer stuff!
Lindholm Forres Books
News of two new titles from this brand-new
publisher, a general history of collecting by Michael Driver and Mike
Richardson (who with his wife Sue wrote the definitive work on die-cast
aeroplanes) and Mr. Driver's solo work on Jaguar toys in all scales and materials
have been published so far. Having seen neither I can't comment further but
full details are to be found here;

Britains Racing Colours
Limited numbers of Peter Kirk's work on the
'Racing Colours of Famous Owners' range of large scale
figurines by Britains are available
from Mercator Trading if you missed them first time round, details from Adrian
through his website, the self-published pamphlet contains the colours for 235
known models, with spare graphics for new discoveries to be added at the back.
Amberley Publishing . . .
. .
. have two new titles out, one on Dolls Houses by Moi Ali (which I will wait-for,
to be remaindered, not because there's anything wrong with it, but just because
I only buy dolls books when they are cheap, as they are a far branch of the
hobby for me!) and a far more interesting one for figure collectors by Matt
McNabb; on the toys tied-in to the Ghostbusters
franchise - with a forward by no less a personage than Dan Aykroyd himself - which
I intend to track down.

Lego
Finally, there is a new book out featuring
the 'Evil Empire' (see forthcoming 'News, Views'), from the son of Ron Good (Goodsoldiers) which I hope to obtain in
November, so we'll return to it then, I had a brief look the other day and it
seems to be a fun guide/introduction to Lego.
