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.
Reprinted by Schiffer Publishing
It is not easy to find a original print published by Kalmbach books in 1995, but the book is reprinted. Schiffer Publishing Ltd. got permission to use the text and photos. The new title is simply Aurora Slot Cars. The new publisher did not change the text, although the values of the models in the price guide are updated. The layout has been changed. The photographs were edited, resized or added. The new publication became thirty-two pages thicker.
