A good friend of mine who is a Hot Wheels collector is sure to love Schiffer Publishing’s and author Bob Parker’s new The Complete Book Of Hot Wheels 4th Edition book.
This oversize softbound book has everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) there is to know about Hot Wheels up until 1999.
From the miniature die cast cars debut the book lists each and every release including multi-pack, special editions and most important of all Red Lines!
Photos, full-spec information and prices are also included accompanied by a variation price guide and loads of historical information.
If you love Hot Wheels and especially if you love and crave vintage and classic Hot Wheels then this is the ‘must have’ book for you.
Psalms 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
