For toy car collectors of the first water, finding all the models you
really want is not enough. In fact, the models are not enough. There are
many other items that make a toy car collection complete. Cases, table-top
or floor displays, product catalogs, promotional items, diorama accessories,
play-sets and so much more are all part of the hobby. One more item is
critical to a complete collection, books.
The 25 books shown here are the heart of my toy car library. They represent
over 20 years of toy car book collecting. Books on specific companies
include:
Matchbox - five
Hot Wheels - four
Tomica - two
Siku - one
Majorette - one
Corgi - one
Dinky - one
There are more books on Lone-Star Impy, Majorette and Tootsietoy that
I hope to add.
Other books include a broad cross-section of toy car manufacturers. My
favorites include:
Detroit in Miniature, Force 19
Diecast Motor Vehicles, Sahakangas/Foster/Weber, 19
Diecast Cars of the 1960's, Ragen, 19
and the Classic Miniature Vehicles series for Germany, Italy and France,
all by Dr. Ed Force. |
