I got my copy this morning and what a nice delivery it was!

Thanks Nick - and well done for penning what is certain to become one of the classic must-haves of our hobby.

My wife was moaning that I was sitting down and reading when there were jobs to be done, but when I explained it was a book about Matchbox and had been written by none other than Nick Jones, she was very understanding. :?

The postman even managed to find my little hovel in the hills this morning!
Many thanks, Nick! The book looks great (and I do like it when books are signed by the author). Fingers crossed that it's a runaway success for you.

Hi Ian, I don't think you have broken any copyright laws due to the way you have used the picture. You have used it as a guide to show us what colour would be suitable for your model which you include in the picture. If you had just photographed or scanned Nick's picture to imply the Green model was yours or a stand alone model as part of an article, then that would be a problem.

All Matchbox enthusiasts should have a copy of Nicks book on their shelf IMHO.
