Synopsis: This Haynes Matchbox 'Models of Yesteryear' Diecast Vehicles book is a hardback edition and covers items which barely raised much more than the passing interest at the time when 'Yesterday's Yesteryears' was written, such as the plated models decorating furniture or those requiring a keener than average attention to the subject like the pre-production models, the paint trials, one-offs and odd-balls.
It is with the intention of attempting to unscramble the former and review the latter that this book is written. In some ways it is a supplement to the earlier one, in others a 'fill-in' background for the newer recruits to the 'Yesteryear' collecting fraternity.
Comprising 176 pages with illustrations, it is essential reference material for the Matchbox 'Models of Yesteryear' Die-Cast Model Vehicle Collector.
