Ashley New Milton, BH25 5BY, England. (tel: 44-1-425-620-956) they are a few bucks each -- not on glossy paper but worth every penny!
John Ramsay: British Diecast 1995 price-guide (the most up-to-date guide with overseas market-prices -- an eye opener for any US collector!)
Hanchet, John: The Matchbox Picture Boxes 1-75 Regular Wheels (1962-1970) (in Matchbox USA Vol.18 N 9, 1995) contact: John Hanchet, Beckumsfield 4, 45259 Essen, Germany ($18) (an all-color Xeroxed catalog)
Also, the long-defunct UK Matchbox club (ran by Ray Bush) published bimonthly Bulletins (Vol.1-8) that are unmatched sources of information (still can be bought from older collectors).
There was once a video: Matchbox 1-75 Series The Pocket Money Toys (made and released by UB90) (no longer available from MICA)
George also found at EWA CARS two videos on Matchbox (they never e-mailed back with the ordering info): Matchbox Collecting Volume One: Models of Yesteryear (1992) 53 min (order#
Matchbox Collecting Volume Two: The Rare Ones ("rare colors and casting variations you never knew existed") (1992) 60 min (order# VIDV1014 34)
