Great Matchbox reference book !!!
This is a great reference book, full of details and history about evolution of Matchbox toys. If you love Matchbox, this is a must. Charlie Mack is a true expert on the subject, and this is for sure the most complete and updated information about the subject. The only complains are: cover picture is not representative at all. Pictures are excelent but could be larger for the "reg. wheels" ...

The old toys become scarce and variations of newer toys have given collectors a challenge to own each one. They collect not only the toys, but catalogs, ...

This book is only half the story.
Helpful guide, however, it is part of a two volume set and you really need both volumes to effectively use this guide. Listed above is Volume 2 and it is loaded with pictures. The information that gives relavence to the pictures is contained in Volume 1. (Volume 1 has a blue title block and several red squares on the cover.) The 4 star rating is for the pair, this book by itself would only ...

Great Matchbox Resource for Regular Wheel Collectors
Overall this book is one of the best printed resources I own, which is still in print, for collecting regular wheel series Matchbox and has become dogged eared from use. Most of the major variations are listed for both models and boxes to boot! Prices of these little treasures are always in flux, but this guide gives you a decent jumping off point.

Hugely Useful Collector's Compendium
This, as are the author's other works, is a standard listing and illustrated collector's aid. It covers models from the period when Matchbox began to produce die cast vehicles in consistent compatible scales such as 1:43, 1:50, etc.; the earlier models were more of a toy character and were made to fit the box. :0)

Two Very Busy Years for Matchbox Toys
The fourth in a series of books, "Matchbox - The Tyco Years, 1993-1994" is mind-bogglingly exhaustive in its completeness. It delineates every single Matchbox product issued in the short two-year period since the purchase of the brand by Tyco. It's only shortcoming is that the price guide, variation list, and pictorial guide are three separate sections, meaning the reader must flip ...

Copters and more
I read this one AFTER Chopper Ops 2...the out of sequence was a bit strange, but this one is filled with as much action and the plot twists were interesting.

chopper ops
Chopper Ops 2, Zero Red, is a very high intensity, high casulty, and high tension action packed novel. With three different fighting forces aboard one russian aircraft carrier, racing toward America carring enough nukes to move the earth off it axis, things get very hairy at the White House. Maloney does a great job detailing and suspending elements of the plot to make for a dramatic and ...

Shuttle Down (Chopper Ops, 3)

What a Recovery!
Let me begin by saying that I wasn't the biggest fan of Chopper Ops, which I thought was a poor third to Wingman and the Colonel Ryder Long mini-series. But, Shuttle Down is fantastic! The story is plausible and the chick-count is manageable. The plot has a secret space shuttle program going awry after terrorist bring down a vehicle. But, it's not the shuttle per se that the the Chopper Ops ...
