Collecting
Model Car & Truck Kits
by Tim Boyd
In addition to a
snapshot history of model kits, this colorful
look back at these nostalgic treasures features
histories and descriptions of the most
collectible models produced by Revell, Monogram,
AMT, and MPC. Color photos illustrate subjects
like AMT's Trophy Series double kits, 1953 to
1962 Corvette kits, the rise and fall of AMT's
annual kit line, 1/25 -scale semis and tractors,
1/16 -scale kits, road-going Ferrari kits, and
dragster models. A final chapter offers advice on
getting started in the collecting hobby and and
discusses the issue of collecting vintage kits
versus actually assembling them.

Making Ghostbusters
by Don Shay (Editor),
Ivan Reitman (Designer), Harold Ramis
(Photographer)
Out of print,
expensive, but called the Holy Grail of
Ghostbusters Books by fans. Did you know Ecto was
originally supposed to be a hearse in the
original draft? But they thought that would be
too dark in the film.

Stretch Limousines
1928-2001 Photo Archive
by Richard J. Conjalka; Paperback
Beginning with
the 1928 Big Band buses, actually the first
stretch limos, this book shows the development of
the stretch limo through its various
configurations up to the present day. Following
the Big Band buses came the airporter shuttle
limos from the 30s to 60s. In 1963 the luxury
commercial stretches were introduced. Finally the
party/bar/VIP stretches came on the scene. This
books features both commercial and one-off
stretches and even includes the 2001 Presidential
limo built for our current President George W.
Bush.
