Aurora Slot Cars (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

I've rarely seen a paperback book of this quality. The pages are thick with a plastikote type coating similiar to Bicycle playing cards. It brings back childhood memories and spans the beginning of minature car racing on through the afx cars. I always thought the thunderjet cars provided the most realistic racing because their super skinny tires made you really have to judge the turns just right. A hair to fast and you end up loosing speed or spinning out! Great book.

This is one of about 3 books a slot car enthusiast must have. It has the complete history in detail of the rise and fall of Aurora. It goes into detail on the vibrator cars the T-jets and then AFX cars as well as larger scale slot cars. It is a must read for slot car fanatics. It has a price guide for all slot cars and some great color illustrations. I highly recommend this book for anyone just getting into this great hobby.. It was priced right with a very fast delivery and was as described. I highly recommend this seller.....KCK

If you want to know about Aurora slots cars, the history of the company, or just rekindle your memories of racing the little suckers as a kid, this book is superb. From the development of the Vibrator cars to the refinement of the T-Jets and later products, this book colorfully charts the development and rise of the company, including its later missteps and struggles. Very informative and a good read.

Amazon services where great with this, the book had allot of great information on the company, but my reasoning for a 3 star review is because of the lack of information on later AFX models, and the price guide does not have photos of individual cars, but refers back to generic photos back in the book. Still a neat book to have, but was slightly disappointed.

This book is nothing but a reprint of the 1995 edition of Greenberg's Guide To Aurora Slot Cars. Had I known that up front I would have chosen to spend my money on a different Aurora slot car book. One which I didn't already own. Very disappointing.

Great information

I am interested in Thunderjet slot cars, and already owned the Greenberg' Guide.Because this 2003 book had a great throwback cover and several more pages, I purchased it.Turn out this book is but an expanded retread version of the (Greenberg's Guide to) book from 1995.I was very disappointed to find all the same copy and pictures and that are in the Greenberg's Guide. If you are interested in, vibrator, thunderjets, afx, and already own Greenberg's - pass on this one, as there is nothing new.The price list in the back is also the exact same as Greenberg's, though with uselessly updated values. If you want to know the true current value, go to ebay.

I enjoyed reading this book, if you are involved with slot cars and especially aurora its a well worth read

Bought as a shelf companion to Bob Beers book. Lots of colour photos & even more reading, which I am yet to do. A must have for your Aurora bookshelf. More later after a good read or two. Ok now read this book. Well worth the cost especially if you do not have the Greenburgh book ( see other reviews ). Easy read, lots of imformation.

Ordered this late for Christmas... But it arrived Christmas Eve! Very impressed. The quality is superb and packed with great photos. My partner was over joyed with his gift!

Great pictures, combined with great information. If you had Aurora toys back in the 60's you'll likely see some of your stuff here. The author has really made a great effort to entertain and educate. Only wish it were hard cover. Overall, worth every penny and more!!! Looking forward to getting a few other similar books. You won't regret getting this book, the pictures alone are worth the price!
