This is a new edition for motoring historians and enthusiasts which discusses a wealth of items ranging from 1900 to 1950, which are illustrated and priced. It covers lamps, horns, mirrors, clocks, dashboard instruments, tools, spares, clothing, badges, mascots, signs, containers, cigarette cards, maps, publicity material, trophies, motoring novelties, toy cars and concludes with an enlarged section on pedal cars. The book covers every aspect of the automobile of interest to the collector, giving much information on which to base a collection. Prices vary due to the presence of small but important factors relating to age, condition and availability, and it is these factors which this reference and price guide sets out to explain. Both authors have had many years' experience in the automobila market.

The author of this text sets out to demonstrate that a form of art is frequently to be encountered in terms of the design, innovation and imagination embodied within these garden items. As a collecting area it is in its infancy but contains all the ingredients a potential collector would choose. There is history, geography, economics, workmanship and engineering. There are makers' marks and trademarks, common, scarce and rare varieties. There are collecting areas within areas and satisfying, attractive objects of varying sizes in various materials. From asparagus forks to water barrows and bark peeling spades to thistle tongs, this book includes details and illustrations to make the reader aware of a lesser known aspect of gardening history.

The success of the first edition of this book and its subsequent reprint has demonstrated the demand and created the opportunity for a new, enlarged edition. A great deal of the new content directly reflects the interest expressed by the media in their requests for articles, radio and TV interviews following the original publication. Particular interest has been generated in garden tools and accessory items, terracotta wares, cast-iron containers, garden furniture and all manner of related novelties. Clearly there is an enthusiasm to know more about the everyday garden related items which are likely to have been made in the last hundred years or so. Perhaps less accessible but certainly of current interest is the desire for 'antique' garden structures. This is evident from the number of garden make-over programmes introducing the concept of incorporating pergolas, gazebos, arbours and summer houses. The book will include over 100 new colour illustrations and additional black and white material in
