Consider 20 GREAT RACE CARS by Graham Heeps this holiday season
You may know Graham Heeps. He is an automotive journalist, Lamley contributor, and diecast collector. He recently wrote a kid’s book. You can find in available on Amazon under 20 Great Race Cars: Discover fast facts about some of the world’s coolest racing machines — and how to find the toy versions! As a supporter of any collector — especially ones that make great content — I urge you to check this book out.
I won’t ruin the element of surprise by posting multiple pages, so I only chose one spread (pages 36 & 37) on the Alfa Romeo Giulia Coupe. It even features a photo of the Car Culture / Door Slammers: #Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA so I had to break out my collection of this casting. You can get an idea how this book is laid out as each 2-page spread focuses on 1 of the 20 vehicles in this book. Graham breaks down each vehicle into four sections: WHY IT’S COOL, TECH SPEC, FAST FACT, and RACE IT!
Since we are in the middle of the holiday season, consider supporting Graham (and this venture) by buying a copy — or 10. These would not only make a great gift for ANY Hot Wheels collector and/or car enthusiast, but the friendly format is also great for kids looking to learn about cars and/or diecast. Additionally, if you like to donate this holiday season, consider buying an extra copy for your local library as well.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all my fellow collectors out there. Cheers! From my household, to yours…
