Slot Cars for fun,

This review is from: Aurora Slot Cars (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This book delivers exactly what it promised. It could have a little bit more information since it was similar to a reproduction with updates of a book from the 70s.

Warning - Good book but a retread of Greenberg's Guide,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aurora Slot Cars (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
I am interested in Thunderjet slot cars, and already owned the Greenberg' Guide.
Because this 2003 book had a great throwback cover and several more pages, I purchased it. Turn out this book is but an expanded retread version of the (Greenberg's Guide to) book from 1995. I was very disappointed to find all the same copy and pictures and that are in the Greenberg's Guide. If you are interested in, vibrator, thunderjets, afx, and already own Greenberg's - pass on this one, as there is nothing new. The price list in the back is also the exact same as Greenberg's, though with uselessly updated values. If you want to know the true current value, go to ebay.
