great book for collectors like me

this book helped me to view prices for my collection. the book list the matchbox by it's number which makes it easy to look up.nice pictures of the cars. in all a very nice book.

Great for collectors.

When this 1993 edition was new, it was a comprehensive listing of all things Matchbox. Lots of pictures and detailed information. Each year more models come out so the book goes out of date. Older editions are great starters for young children just getting the nack for colleting die cast cars.

Good listing of all Matchbox die-cast for the time period

This book was a good listing of Matchbox die-cast for the time period specified. It listed all vehicles by collector number and then broke them out by vehicle. Not all cars are pictured. So if you don't know the name of the car, or the collector number it maybe difficult to find it in the listing.

awesome

This book helped me greatly

A Must Have for the Matchbox Collector

Of all of the reference guides I own, I use two. This is one of those two. This book is an invaluable resource for identifying Matchbox models. It has several indexes to use--chronological, by name and by issue number. I would recommend that any Matchbox collector add this book to their reference library.
