This review is from: Collector's Guide to Children's Automobiles (Hardcover)
Will not buy this book. here's why. This authors other book "Juvenile Automobiles" is poor. As a device for identification of your car JA may help. Good for UK made Triang/ Lines Bros cars - Has a reprint Triang catalogue in the back.
Purely a random collection of black & white piccys of cars with little or no comment this book appears to have been written in under 4 hours. There is self-indulgent bumpf about the author, which is OK if for the fact there is more about the author than the subject. Can I be more damning?? Make it the last book you buy on the subject, not the first.
