Following CMOTD's post is appropriate as I have a copy of "Vintage Slot Cars" that was previously owned by Brian/CMOTD. It is by Phillipe De Lespinay who is well known in slot-car circles. This features USA based manufacturers.

I also have "The History of Model Roads and Racetracks" by Roger Greenslade" which I have cherished ever since and can honestly say that it has been handy in my bedside cabinet ever since ! This covers UK and USA manufacturers and is an all monochrome presentation but was and still is a fabulous source of information.  It doesn't compare cosmetically to more modern books and can be a pain to navigate but well worth having.

The Ultimate Guide to Scalextric was a hesitant acquisition due to the high cost and having most of the previous issues but it is such an advance over the previous ones that it is a must have.

These are my favourites, alongside which I have others such as the Dave Chang book. Dave was a frequent contributor on the old forum  (as was his partner "Hugs") but faded as his business interests livened up. I see that he lists the book as one of his achievements on his web site so presumably like the rest of us, slot-cars are still in his head.
