It carefully documents the civilian toy figures produced by over 75 companies between 1900 and 1966. A number of Britains civilian items have also been included for comparison.

Illustrated with over 1,500 full color photos, it includes current pricing, and provides a history of the toys, as well as the a social history. Examples from Argentina, France, Germany, Japan, and the U.S.A. join the many figures produced in England.
