While the book has not been substantially updated, it covers cars that were primarily made over twenty years ago. This guide, as far as I know, was the very first of it's kind. To date, the book is still current as the subject HO scale Aurora cars were last produced over two decades ago. Many other people have compiled "me too" listings of the slot cars covered in this book, but none of the other books have the level of professional photography or copy as is found in this book. In fact, some of the other publications are nothing more than computer printed color copies retailing for the same price or more. The author of this book attends numerous trade shows and swap meets, he is truly a wealth of knowledge for the so called experts and begginers to the collecting scene alike. Forget Mr. Aurora, Slot Car Johnny (The Author) has a well composed, concise pictorial guide that is unbiased and informative. It is the definitive guide for the HO scale Aurora slot car collector / enthusiast. You will enjoy this book for many years to come.

I thought the book did not give a good guide to pricing or to condision. The book seemed to basic with not enough information to really be useful.Does not cover enough of the cars made and colors.This is just a quick look at some cars someone owns in my view. It is OK if you can not get anything else or can not afford a better book. The book is worth looking through for the fun of it. OK not great
