REVIEW: As the hobby of collecting Hot Wheels has grown, the Mattel side line toys have always been a presence, but have never received the attention lavished on the Redlines. Now, at last, there is a guide for these toys as well, and in a format that is so user-friendly it should be a hobby standard. The text gives excellent background information on what to look for, what factor can affect value of different models, and in some cases, restoration help.Customer Reviews:

Amazing Excellent Beautiful Hot Wheels Book.......2003-11-27
Instead this book focuses on the Redlines (1968 - 1977 models with the red strip on the tires). There are many beautiful photos of each of the vehicles, documentation on the variations and colors the vehicles, and realistic values for each of the variations.
I thought about assembling a Hot Wheels reference book for myself as I could not find a book which was detailed, with realistic values, and good photos. I dont have to now as this is exactly what I was looking for.
So for those of you who get sucked in to thinking about by buying a values guide for the current peg hangers, ask yourself "Is someone really going to pay rediculous prices for something at the local store for under a buck?" Maybe within the first couple months of the release the prices will be high, but then the values go kerplop. Maybe in 15 years the values will climb for these current peg hangers.
The redlines are the way to go, and this book is all you need.
Focus On The Early Years.......2002-12-05
Add this book to the six other Hot Wheels price guides currently on the market. Is there room for a seventh? In this case, yes, without a doubt. The Ultimate Redline Guide focuses on Hot Wheels from that era before Hot Wheels were considered collectible, and are now therefore the most highly prized.
Redline, for those of you just returning from a pre-Seventies alien abduction, refers to the red stripe on early Hot Wheels tires that distinguishes them from later models.
This book offers year-by-year color-coded pages of those important first ten years of Hot Wheels production, in large, definitive photos and sumptuous supporting text. Each page is devoted to a single model and its variations. This book is the definitive guide to the earliest and most valuable Hot Wheels.
Unbelievable!!.......2002-10-21

you must have it!.......2003-09-13
Gorgeous book and great projects!.......2003-06-01
Starts with basic polymer stuff, then basic info on assembling and finishing a mosaic, then on to specific patterns. I love the section on pietre dure the best - they remind me of the very beautiful examples I saw in Italy.
One pattern (grapes & leaves) mimics the style and colors of the mosaics found in the ancient palaces in Rome - and the gold-leafed tesserae on the sconce project is right out of a Byzantine basilica. More modern-looking projects include a Celtic dragon barrette on a beautiful background and a "fossil" tile frame.
You can easily take any of these projects and substitute your own patterns and colors and even changing the size of the tesserae, making the design more or less complicated to suit your level of patience and available time. Some of the work is going to be painstaking and time-consuming, but for myself, I find that kind of work is very soothing sometimes.
The book is well-illustrated with lots of pictures to show the steps and the instructions are well written and easy to follow. Another excellent reference from a very prolific polymer clay author.

Polymer Clay Mosaics
Krista Wells Manufacturer: Sterling ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1402703384 |
Book Description
Forget the glass and ceramics; just put polymer clay through a pasta machine to make very thin sheets, cut that into small squares, and voila! Crafters have mosaic tiles in whatever shape and color they want, perfect for gluing onto any surface for beautiful decorative objects. And because the polymer weighs so much less than ceramic, these tesserae work better on smaller projects, and offer more flexibility. Simple instructions and color photos present all the basics of this appealing craft, and the great projects include jewelry, mirror decorations, house signs, coasters, tabletops, garden items, and more.Customer Reviews:

An African Vilolet's Best Friend (And Your's Too).......1997-09-27
This book has the most practical advice and so very well written, I have been searching for it ever since. Its a great reference book and is so well laid out you can pick it up and find the area you are particularly interested in with wonderful advice. Not only was it well written and organized, what she writes really works.
I have been searching for the book ever since. As it was published in Australia in 1986, it has been very difficult to find. Thank you to Amazon, and my friend Jane who told me about Amazon.
To all of those folks out there that would like to grow African Violets and think they are hard, get this book. Violets are really very easy and Ms. Coulson helps you right over that hurdle.
