Information seems to be well organized and spelled out, but was disappointed that there were so few color pictures.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that great for Matchbox, November 8, 2006

By	Thomas J. Mcnamara "TMac" (Northeast) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: O'Brien's Collecting Toy Cars & Trucks 4th Edition (Paperback) (Paperback)

For Matchboxes, very difficult to find and reasearch based on a proprietary numbering system. Numbering system not clearly articulated in overview. I had to purchase a new "Matchbox specific" guide from another publisher.
