Tal,
Never seen this book. But I have another book by the same author : Martin J. Goodman. It's name : "Lenin's legacy. A concise history and guide to Soviet collectibles". Published in 2000, by Schiffer publishing. 192 pages. This book has already been presented in a previous thread. It is specifically interesting in the sense it contains a number of badges photographs. This second small book is probably an abstract... Ch. |

I just acquired this book (booklet) from an auction house that specializes in militaria. As has been surmised, the same author wrote Lenin's Legacy. Indeed, many of the illustrations appear in both works.
The booklet is an inexpensive paperbound volume very much in the style of Furlan's paperback guides to USSR Medals, USSR Insignia and the latest Russian Medals. It is profusely illustrated with b-w illustrations (photocopy quality), and is accompanied with very brief background data. The booklet's sole focus is Lenin memorabilia, unlike Goodman's other book, which covered a wide variety of material. The booklet is divided into 6 chapters: - Lenin Pins - Lenin Busts - Lenin Statutes - Lenin Portraits - Lenin Wall Plaques - Lenin Table Medallions My bottom line: It is a nice, inexpensive guide to Lenin busts and statues, as long as you don't pay too much for it.

My god!
And I once thought collecting of Soviet awards was an "off track" hobby...

In comparison...
I don't know the number of pages of this booklet, but most of its topics seem to be covered in "Lenin's legacy". (That's the case for all the statues and busts shown in the posted pages).
What is not really dealt in "Lenin's legacy" is Lenin Wall Plaques and Lenin Table Medallions. But, it contains prices and estimates. Last point, "Lenin's legacy" is sold 60$... not so "inexpensive" !!! (but it contains a lot of beautiful pics and cover a wide range of subjects - including Space and Aeroflot items. Ch. |

Guys,
Just thought I'd mention that many "Lenin collectibles" are being reproduced today - busts, pennants, portrets, and even pins. Alexei |

Alexei,
Is there enough demand for lenin items to make profit on repros? William |
