One of the best books about model car racing

The book Greenberg's guide to Aurora Slot Cars has been published in 1995. This book about the legendary slot car manufacturer Aurora, can be considered as one of the best books about model car racing ever.

Thomas Graham

The author Thomas Graham is professor of History at the Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. The author describes the history of Aurora in a very fascinating way. Slot car enthusiasts who do not have special interest in Aurora will also be gripped by the in-depth, journalistic, background information and they will wonder themselves about the stories about the developments of slot car racing in the sixties.
