classic motorsport, and comes complete with a 'Hot 100' list of the

When Mattel's Hotwheels toy cars exploded onto the market in 1968,
venerable Matchbox Toys met the challenge with its Superfast line.
The successful result is now presented in the largest book on
Matchbox Toys ever produced - so big it is two volumes that
celebrate 35 years of Matchbox Superfast production with over 7000
color photos and over 10,000 listed variations! The detailed,
beautiful photographs are a great assistance to collectors for
identification and color reference. The Variation Listings, found
in Volume 1, are arranged alpha-numerically by product numbers,
making location and cross-referencing easy. Photos are arranged by
major product lines, with Basic Models in Volume1, and everything
else from Adventure Pack to White Rose Collectibles arranged
alphabetically in Volume 2. Superfast models from late 2004 and
early 2005 also appear in Volume 2. Each photo includes the product
number and name for easy reference to the Variation Listings. To
further aid in identification there are helpful indexes by MAN
number and model names (actual base names), as well as a general
alphabetical index. The model variations have current market prices
for each variation. Taken together, these two great books are a
must for Matchbox collectors everywhere, a monumental effort by one
of the world's greatest authorities! Volume 1: Over 2050 Color

This one-of-a-kind book describes some 1400 different glass cutters
collected from around the world by the author during the past 35
years. A brief history of flat window glass describes its
manufacture, application, taxation, etc. from the time of the
Romans, through France and England to the United States. The early
use of flint tools and grozing yrnes for cutting and shaping the
glass is noted. These tools were used for shaping the stained glass
in the early cathedrals. Five hundred U.S. glass cutter patents and
28 U.S. glass cutter design patents beginning in 1860 through 2009
are listed by date, inventor, and title. A list of corporate,
product line, distributor, etc. names are also described further as
being in one or more of the 23 "Style Categories" the author has
set up that show pictures of 600 cutters and detailed descriptions
of all 1400 different glass cutters. An extensive bibliography is
included.

Cowboy grandma is the true story of Wendy Ault, who dreamt of being
a cowboy and found her passion for it at 65. This message of the
story is that it is never too late to follow your dreams.
The Springfield 1903 Rifle, considered one of the smoothest working
bolt action rifles ever made, saw action through World War II and
is still used in hunting today. Its extreme popularity down the
years has lent this gun a romance that has lingered to the present.
The Springfield 1903 Rifles is a book worthy of its legendary
subject. It is the massive lifetime work of the rifle's premier
authority, William Brophy. His exhaustive research took Brophy into
some of the rarest collections in existence. These are reflected in
the book's more than 1,500 superb, first-quality photos, which
represent the Springfield Armory; the Navy Museum in Quantico,
Virginia; the U.S. Army Historical Institute; and Colonel
Crossman's collection, among others. Such extensive documentation
makes The Springfield 1903 Rifles a history classic. It follows the
gun through both World Wars, tracing its development and detailing
accessories, appendages, racks, bayonets, scabbards, various
models, and much more. New information on the bushmaster and Marine
Corps sniper is also included, along with historical anecdotes
about Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Crossman. The book appeals to
those interested in the history of firearms as well as collectors.
Interest in the subject is so widespread that one knowledgeable
source compared gun lovers' fascination with the Springfield Rifle
to auto buffs' for the Model T.
