    Not Bad But Not As Your Sole or Primary Reference Guide
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2008*

It is a handy book to have due to the alphabetical (sic?) indexing of the cars (vice indexing by 1-75 #).  For instance, if you do not have the car's MB# handy you can look it up in this book by the car name, get the MB# and then look in one of Charlie Mack's books for the details and more realistic (but dated) prices.  But the book has many flaws; The author uses his own variation method (by color), there is very little Lesney coverage in the way of photos and details (if I had to guess the pictures are from the authors limited collection), unrealisticly (sic?)low Lesney prices (8 dollars for a regular wheel car, give me a break), and a hugely abridged section on many other important series such as King Size, Yesteryears etc.  While not for the hardcore science of cataloging your MB collection, the book does have many nice photos of late Tyco and Mattel MB cars, making it a nice book to flip through when kicking back and relaxing. Overall, for the Amazon price, its worth having but not as your sole reference guide.

    Don't waste your money!
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2010*

I recently purchased this book online. When it arrived I eagerly started looking through it, only to be horribly disappointed. IT lists the cars by name, instead of year, model number, or anything else that makes sense. The author explained that he thought it was best as the model numbers were confusing and "only listed on the boxes and not the cars"???  Funny, most cars I have seen have the model number, and are only lacking the letter following the model. What is worse is the bulk of ones listed with photos are the newer models. In fact, I would say 90% of the listings are Superfast era and above. For the early/antique collector, this book is almost useless, and the price appraisals are hilarious! They resemble the LOL prices seen on some Ebay auction "buy it now" prices.  DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this book. You can find much more useful info online by searching Matchbox 1-75.  The information provided may be useful to some, but not anyone like me collecting the oldies from the 50's & 60's. As far as the Amazon service, it was fine as always.
