### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A truly EXCELLENT book for model car collectors
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2023*

A great history of the model car business in Britain from the 1940s onwards. At the time I was just a very young collector, so I was unaware of what was really happening behind the scenes with the makers of these toys / models. This book tells what was really going on, and gives a great insight to the business, Strongly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Factual nostalgia
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2016*

I take a keen interest in model cars and whilst I own many books on the subject this volume from Giles Chapman offers both new pictures and detail. Whilst the title of the book makes reference to "Dinky vs Corgi vs Matchbox" it also includes pictures and references to other relevant marques including Spot-On and Hot Wheels and the part they played in the "Toy Car Wars".The book which runs to over 120 pages is well produced with plenty of pictures mostly in colour and informative text. I do agree with another reviewer that the greyish print colour doesn't help if you struggle with a lack of contrast but at least the font isn't too small. The book really does take you on a journey from the earliest models through to the present day and the pictures and reproductions of adverts will bring the memories floof0ing back. To me this book contains a lot of genuinely new material not found in my other books and charts the rise and fall of the UK based model car industry - I'm very pleased with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The book deserves better than this
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2016*

This has to be one for the dedicated enthusiast. It complements any number of already published books on te subject, but is the first that I have seen that draws the threads of manufacturing history together and looks at the major players in the immediate post WW2 period in relation to one and other. Well written and illustrated, it included personal reminiscences from the author that many of his readers will be able to empathise with. If I had one complaint it would be about the choice of font for the text - which looks as if it has been printed in greyscale at high speed. The book deserves better than this.
