Scalextric Books ...

[Luke]

When I got back involved with the 1:32 slot-car world in 1999 - caught sight (online) of Scalextric Books ... by Roger Gillham.

Recorded names of (all known) Books Published & so happened, got myself copy of (and by coincidence 5th & 50th) the Scalextric Past and Present 5th. Edition & the 50th. Anniversary - A Race Through Time

• An Enthusiast's Guide to Scalextric Cars and Equipment, Past and Present 1981 Book by Roger Gillham

  The spine of each of the 10 Books ... bears a letter of the word S C A L E X T R I C! https://slotracer.online/community/show ... p?tid=2152 ... for example: Volume 1 has the letter 'S' and volume 2 has the letter 'C' etc, etc. The 10 volumes are A4 size and weighs approx. 2lbs. plus books may have a page count of 250 to 350 pages.

By extension, there are books by other persons (example: D. Chang) and acquired the 2 below but unfortunately (these 2) were destroyed by flooding-waters in 2012

• The Slot Car Hand Book by Dave Chang ***
• Digital Slot Car Racing by Dave Chang ***

Interesting. Glad the first two weren't destroyed.

Didn't know about this. That's really nice to have. Thanks Luke!

I actually have these three books, two of which you mentioned above:

Also was given this one several years ago by my long-time friend Gary Huggins:

Gordon,

Those 4 model cars featured on (the front page of) your Vintage Slot Cars book ...

Looks really GR8 and reminds me (so much) of your Vintage Slot Car collection



Surprise you didn't get a copy the DIGITAL Slot Car Racing (hand book) by Dave Chang ...

It's probably pointless now though because you're most likely very knowledgeable with all that was written

Forgot about that pic Luke. I have a few more since it was taken.

Forgot about that pic Luke. I have a few more since it was taken.

Even though it's been sometime with this (March 2022) topic ...

Always wanted to suggest Gordon - if you can / will post a pic of your complete Vintage Collection
