The book contains a valuation guide to each set or individual item. This reference book is the definitive work on the new Britains line.

Excellent companion resource for Opie’s Britains Toy Soldiers 1893-1932 and Opie’s Great Book of Britains among others. Professionally done, chock full of photos for comparison as well as captions to identify each piece or set. Fills in the years from 1973 to 2007. Not long on descriptive info beyond the identifications, but still valuable to someone looking to place a set in the proper context.
