What do you do with your obsolete mobiles phones, unwanted children's toys and old books? Recycle them, take them to a car boot sale, or perhaps banish them to the loft? Before you hastily clear out all these items that you may think will never be of use to you again, think twice about how valuable they could become in the future.
Written with verve by TV's Jamie Breese, the Collectables Manual covers everything from the obvious to the obscure. Whether it's Action Man or action comics, Elvis or Elton John, stamps or Star Wars - a truly remarkable range of twentieth-century collectables is covered.
Whether you are thinking of taking up collecting as a hobby, looking to cash in on the value of your collectables or are just keen to find out if there may be hidden treasures around the house, this manual has it all.
Topics covered include:
- Toys and children's collectables - Action Man, Bagpuss, Barbie, Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch Kids, dolls, Noddy, Peter Pan, Sindy, Smurfs

Beautifully illustrated, the Collectables Manual is a fun and comprehensive guide to collecting for all tastes and pockets.
