JOKE~!!!
First of all, I HATE the BIG UGLY picture of American Car Racer...do not know his name, on the cover of the book. Second, I hate NASCAR and Cheap political HOT WHEEL junk I do not even care for looking at. The book should focus on HIGH QUALITY COLLECTIBLE BRANDS ONLY. What a waste of paper~!!!

This book was WEAK!
I did much better finding things on
Also disappointed
I agree that this book has very little to offer someone who is interested in diecast collecting and diecast values.The book contains some interesting photos and NASCAR history, but mostly sizzle with very little steak.Save your money. ... Read more

Nostalgia city!
What a great time I had with this book!Every page, and every photo,brought back memories of these cars.It's a really nicely produced volume(I already bought a copy for a friend who's rich enough to collect realcars!) and if you leave it out on a coffee table, say, everybody reachesfor it and, as they leaf through it, they invariably start to smile.NowI'm just sorry I gave away (or maybe my parents did) all my own toys fromthe 60s!

Fascinating and Fun... A Must For Any Kid From the '60s
I was given this book by a friend and didn't know what to expect... butall sorts of happy memories fooded back as I flipped through the pages.Ragan clearly loves his subject, but he's a added a quirky tone that makesthis fun not just for collectors but also for people like me who justremember playing with some of these toys. It's also worth noting that thephotographs are fantastic.Read more

Not what I was expecting.
The books has many companies listed and gives histories but gives a generic price range.I mainly purchased this book for 1:18 scale models and was sad to see that a roughly half of my collection is not even listed in the book.

not what i thought
This book has a review on almost every kind of toy car, but leaves out the prices of a lot of them.There is almost no selection for hot-wheels, but there is a lot of selection for matchbox.My problem is that I have cars with no model numbers, which makes this book useless.I was able to find ERTL and a few others I had though.

New Guide For Diecast, White Metal and Other Toy Car Fans

A very complete listing of aircraft with many color photos
Sue Richardson's book on diecast aircraft, which she took many years to carefully research and prepare, covers a relatively neglected area of toy collecting in a very thorough and professional manner. At least half ofthe book covers Dinky Toys, which are well-known and a topic on which Ms.Richardson is a noted authority.She includes material from the originalsource - the factory at Binns Road.The book continues to take the readeron a tour of the world, from Argentina to the United States, including somevery obscure manufacturers.These toys range from inexpensive noveltiescurrently available all the way to the extremely rare Wm. Britains aircraftof the 1930s.The numerous photos are mostly taken from above. With awork like this, it is inevitable that a few models are forgotten, and onewould have liked a better reference for American "dimestore" toysof the 1930s, for instance.On the whole, however, this book is excellent,not only for a toy plane collector like me, but for anyone who enjoysdiecast metal toys. ...

I wish I hadn't bought this!
I must say that I really regret buying this book. After waiting anxiously to receive it I was, upon opening it, almost immediately disappointed. It turned out to be an alphabetical listing of companies which produceddie-cast models, with a brief (1 paragraph in some cases) description ofcompany history. While it does list each model produced by the variouscompanies and offer a valuation, it fails to describe the models in anydetail. Therefore, a prospective collector has virtually no usefulinformation to go on. It doesn't even tell you the various colours themodels have been released in, or any details which might differenciate onemodel from another. Excellent overview of ALL diecast cars ever made
This book is not a complete listing of any single make of diecast car (although it does come close for a few makes) but rather a list of all diecast manufacturers that have ever existed with a representative samplingof prices and photos. ... Read more

A Pretty Good Buick Book
Well, I must say that this is a unique and one of a kind book.It has tons of pictures and collectible prices (values).It has alot of items that I don't have in my collection and the ones that I do have it was cool to be able to see the average value of them. I found one in there, a Dale Earnhardt Ertl car, that has over a $500 value. If you collect buick stuff you need this book.Its about 70% racing items and the regular stuff only goes back to about the 1960's but thats really ok with me as I am only really interested in the buick muscle cars and the turbo cars.Anyway, hope this helps you if you are thinking about getting this book.And, since there really arent alot of buick books on the market its a great one to just add to your library even if you dont collect buick stuff but are just curious. ...
