Woohoo.
Your truly has just been approached by Shire books (Osprey publishing) re writing and illustrating a 64 page book on Matchbox toys, It won't be the in depth anoraks guide to wheel tread counts and shade variations but a general about Matchbox toys book, I will let you know more as I find out more about it.

Nice one Nick, fingers crossed that it works out for you.

Perfect Nick, you are the real king of this.

Great News Nick,

But how can you possibly cram all the history of Matchbox into a 64 page book?

Surely it will be bigger once you take into consideration the illustrations/Photographs that buyers would also expect to see.

Congrats Nick ! Sounds very promising and I'm sure it will be a project you enjoy.
Perhaps it will lead to further publications down the road.

Regards,

I hope you enjoy your experience. It is fun to go into the book store and see a book with your name on it.

Well done Nick. That'll be a tough job condensing everything down to such a small number of pages! Will you stick to just RW's or do you have to cover everything?

I hope that at least one of your 64 pages will be a resources guide where you can put in links to the Variations Guide and this forum - plus all the many other valuable online sites in the Quicklinks section.
