Walne explores an alternative world

Former Money Marketing reporter Toby Walne has published a book about alternative investments.

101 Extraordinary Investments covers covers a wide range of unusual investment opportunities, including superhero comics, toy robots, locks of celebrity hair and cigars, and classic alternatives such as wine, stamps, cigarette cards and books.

Each topic offers practical investment guidance including cash returns, contact information and trading tips.

Walne says: ?This handbook was 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 collectables.?
