Description
If you remember when playing with Matchbox cars consumed your day, this book will take you back to those miniature dirt roads in the back yard and the parking lot on the family room coffee table. Author Mac Ragan's spectacular colour close-up photography depicts the brand's most popular cars, trucks and other vehicles, and the text and captions provide historical information about the toys that are loved by children and adults.
The 50 year history of Matchbox cars is chronicled year-by-year in this thoroughly researched book. The story begins with the creation of Lesney Products in 1947 and covers changes in ownership of the matchbox brand through the years. A resource list and a price guide are also included.
