About the Book
'101 Extraordinary Investments' is a fascinating exploration of curious and unusual ways to make money. Inspired by the great adventurers of the Victorian era, who hunted for everything from orchids to shrunken heads, this book keeps the spirit alive with its own modern twist on collectibles.
A full range of subjects is covered, from Superhero comics, Toy Robots and Magic Tricks to Cigars, Fine Wine, Feudal Titles and Pedigree Pigs.
Each topic is covered in a comprehensive and entertaining manner providing subject insight as well as practical investment guidance, including cash returns and contact information. This will include 'did-you-know?' style fact boxes. There is a bite-size chapter layout that aims to make it an easy-to-read and fun compendium with a sense of period charm, with a wide eclectic spread of opportunities.
Each investment is accompanied by attractive ink-and-pen drawing in keeping with the quirky Victorian theme that will be enhanced by a fine quality book finish.
