2 comments about Frog Model Aircraft 1932-1976: The Complete History of the Flying Aircraft & the Plastic Kits.

1. Frog, Flies right off the Ground, The model company that started before Airfix and ended with its moulds being sold to the Soviet Union in the day's of the Cold War.
   This book is not only a history of Frog but an interesting social history of Great Britain. An advert for Frog appears in the book stating that making models during the Blackout helped stop boredom !!
   The early Penguins are covered as well as the flying models.
   A tribute to Frog must be that the moulds are still be used to this day in Russia and still sold here.
   This book is one that will be picked up again and again, I highly recommend this volume to anybody with more than a passing interest in Model Aircraft



2. This is just about the best model reference book that I know of. Even if you've never seen a Frog model aircraft or kit, it's written with such verve and enthusiasm that you'll want to start collecting them before you reach the end! This should be the model (if you'll excuse the pun) for anyone contemplating the production of a similar company history. Great illustrations and a very comprehensive reference section at the back. I paid the equivalent of $50 for my copy and it is worth every cent.

2 comments about Famous Airliners.

1. This is a wonderful book to give to a preteen interested in airliners. While it does discuss characteristics of the most influential airliners in history, the language is not such that you regret picking the book up or not majoring in aerospace engineering instead of sociology.
   
   It is great for pilots or designers, but works just fine for passengers, too. In a way, all the complaining we do about the quality of air travel today should be placed into the context of how things were a generation or two ago...we're actually quite well off.



2. This isn't for the casual reader, but anyone with an interest in this subject will enjoy it. Mr. Mellberg has written a fabulous book about a subject that he clearly loves. Maybe they could use color pictures in the next edition

1 comments about Miniature Emergency Vehicles.

1. This is one of my favorite books on collecting miniature fire trucks and ambulances. I have used this book to keep track of what I collect and it is very informative on many models and manufacturers through 1985. I do not know of any other book that has been researched and complete concerning the collecting of emergency vehicles. I recommend this book to anyone that shares this great hobby...

5 comments about Vintage Volkswagens.

1. BOOK WAS JUST AS DESCRIBED! WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN! VERY FAST SHIPPING ALSO!



2. This book does have some very nice photographs of Beetles in their original form; however, it contains no written information and the photos are not even marked. The only way to tell what you are looking at is to check with a legend at the back of the book.
   I'm sure that any true vintage nut would not have to check with this legend to confirm the model they are looking at and I thought the way this book was designed was very poor.
   Nice pics with not much else. Average book in my opinion.

   There are certainly other VW books out there that are much better than this one!




3. This is an outstanding book if you are looking for pictures of vintage volkswagens but don't look for much more than that. Although the pictures are great there is no indication of what you are looking at unless you jump back and forth from the "Description" section in the rear of the book. Lastly you will not get every year of the vintage volkswagens so don't look for anything beyond 1961, and some of the years prior to '61 are missing as well. If you are just looking for some great pictures prior to '61 this book is for you. If you are looking for something more substantial such as changes from model year to model year, and a larger range of years, then keep looking.



4. The book has a very nice collection of VW pictures. Photos whith good quality of very good cars. If you like Beetles you will appreciate this book. I think the format of the book is to small so then many pictures are little or printed using two pages (considering the price is still a good book).



5. To be honest, I don't even own this book, but my friend does, and we've looked at it many times together. It has plenty of information about Volkswagens, while displaying really fabulous photos of great volkswagen models! If you like Volkswagens, you'll love this book!!
