5.0 out of 5 stars The best Hot Wheels Redline reference!, May 31, 2005

By 

Will Sowth (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Wheels the Ultimate Redline Guide: Identification and Values 1968-1977 (Hardcover)

This book is a must have for any serious Redline collector. It is a beautifully presented hardcover book of almost 400 pages; jam packed with photos, facts and figures for all Hot Wheels models from 1968 to 1977.

Each model has its own page listing colours, variations and values for loose and packaged cars from Hong Kong and the USA. The book also has special sections on Gran Prix, Heavyweights, Sky Show, Spoilers, Carry Cases, Displays, Gift Sets, Playsets, Track Sets, Merchandise, Collector Buttons and more.

I own the Tomart guide, the Schiffer guide and several others and none of them come close the detail and accuracy found in this book.

In a word, "Indispensable!"

This review is from: Hot Wheels the Ultimate Redline Guide: Identification and Values 1968-1977 (Hardcover)

This is the very finest volume on the subject -- bar none. Each and every car has a one- or two-page listing, complete with description, history, variations, and values by color. Photos are large and lavish. Hot Wheels playsets, accessories, and collateral merchandise are covered as well. Plus, the book is published in a sturdy library binding. It's well worth the price. You will not need another book about Hot Wheels Redlines.
