Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was born in 1966 and enjoy these small die-cast cars. I liked to collect "Matchbox" cars formerly made by Lesney Toys of England and I also like the more upscale products offered by "Corgi Toys." This book by Marc Nonnenkamp has a handy detailed listing of the Matchbox product line from 1948 through 1992 inclusive. It also has examples of Matchbox from both the Tyco Toys and the current Mattel years. Personally I am much more interested in the Lesney (1948 to 1982) Matchbox International years (from 1983 to 1992). My favorites are the Matchbox "King Size" and Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" lines, both included in this book. The illustrations in this book all come from "Corgi Toys" because the author's work is endorsed by Hornby Hobbies - the current owner of the Corgi brand name. The Amazon Kindle e-book edition features working links to and from both chapters and illustrations as well as some Internet links. Nonnenkamp has favorable recommendations for reputable toy retailers such as Asheville Diecast of Asheville, North Carolina and 3000toys of Joplin, Missouri (yes, that's the Joplin hit by the recent tornado). Asheville Diecast has endorsed this book on their site at [....] and 3000toys has endorsed this book on their Facebook page with more than 1,300 members. Barnes & Noble at [....] features an endorsement of this book by Susan Pownall, the editor of the Corgi Club magazine from England with more than 4,000 members worldwide. I strongly endorse this book and all others by the author Marc Nonnenkamp.
