 The 'Budgie Models' book has 126 pages, hard covers, and over 180 models are illustrated in colour. It covers all the earlier Morestone and Modern Products from 1946 as well as the Budgie ranges (1959-1985). Also included are the Noddy items and the Budgie and Esso Series miniatures. It really is the definitive guide to these toys. Sorry, this book is now completely out of print. I occasionally have used copies available at £25-£30 each depending on condition. Please e-mail me for details. I also buy used copies. Use this link to check if any are available at Amazon.co.uk.  Still available is my booklet 'Benbros T.V.Series & Mighty Midgets'. This gives a history and detailed listing of these Matchbox size toys which were made in England in the 1950s and early 1960s. The booklet is A5 size, has 24 pages and is illustrated with black and white photos and a full colour cover. See the reviews in Model Collector and Diecast Collector magazines in June 2002. Price is £5 plus postage and packing as follows: UK £1, Europe £1.50, rest of the world £2. To order, and for details of how to pay, please e-mail me. |
