I found this book at the St. Louis show. I had not heard anything about it yet, so I think it's fairly new. It's called: HO Slot Car Checklist (copyrighted 2007) by Alan Strang. 227 pages
It has a lot of the AutoWorld cars listed in it; Johnny Lightning cars; Dash Motorsports; HO Detroit; MEV Originals; NU-Rora; Road Race Replicas; Pup Trailers & Containers. There are many other companies included. It's a checklist that you can mark off what you have (or don't have). It's a very complex & detailed book. It was a $20 book. Author's email: alansamc@att.net
Later,

Looks like I need to text "Santa" She never know what to get me and I don't need any more Wool socks. She says I'm hard to buy for. DUh how many times do I have to email her RRR,MEV DASH, catalogs. She keeps calling Joe Furuli asking how his number got in her phone.

Too bad about the pix. Still a good reference source, especially if you suffer from CRS. :eek: rr

This appears to be an updated (plagiarized?) version of Howard Johansen’s book "Ho Slot Car & Accessories Value Guide" from back in the early 1990's.

HJ's book was an awesome source of info for the experienced collector.
