Chris Knox's book, "Schuco Classic Tin Toys", is wonderfully illustrated with stunning photography. He covers Schuco through the early years, it's rise as an innovative creator of toys, it's demise, and finally, it's resurrection.What sets the book apart from other toy books is the beautiful photographs of Schuco toys. The photography is nothing short of spectacular. While the book offers Schuco history and pricing, it's more of a "coffee table" book. Enjoy it for the images of classic (and collectible) toys from the Schuco line.

The book is great, just wanted to make other buyers aware that Amazon is showing the wrong cover for this edition/ISBN 0-87349-545-4. The correct cover has a picture of about 1/2 of the back of a Schuco car,shows the insignia and has a license plate, still in red, but not as shown here. We have the book in our hand right now and have tried to convince Amazon to change their picture, but have had no luck. If you are looking for the one shown above - you want the title put out by Antique Collector's Club. This ISBN belongs to the book published by Krause, which is a hardback and with a dust jacket - with a different front cover photo.
