"This fun-filled book features over 1,000 full-color photos of monsters, show cars, aliens, and many more popular and obscure kits from the 1950s through 1970s. It provides basic and amusing information about the kits, and of course, current collector values. From a reviewer: "This is the 'BIBLE' for any serious plastic kit modeler. This book gives any plastic kit modeler a real insight into the history of the plastic model kit.It has superb photographic layouts and shows modelers just what is possible to achieve in terms of building and painting. I bought this book when originally published and have used it as the first point of reference many, many times over the years. Now getting a bit worse for wear, but I would never be without it. Every model kit enthusiast needs this book. BUY IT. BORROW IT. BEG IT---NOW. You will not regret it. A superb publication." {book information from amazon.com}
