Reference Books at a Price, by Eric Rayment, from Miniature Figurines Magazine Volume 1 Number 5

Following on from recent posts on Almarks and Blandfords, here is a contemporary view of these two series and other uniform reference sources available in the early 1970s, published in the MIniature Figurines House Magazine.

Astounding to think that Funcken books at £2 per volume were regarded as expensive - though £2 was probably a week's wage for an agricultural labourer at the time.

I can remember the 1970's - I hadn't realised it was quite that long ago.

Great to see these old mags - thanks, Clive

We had double-digit (10pc plus) during the Carter years 76-80 and my pay went up from 300 to 1000 a month in that time. Still stuck around there since, though.
