Product Description
Hot Wheels are collector cool - more than 15 million people proudly collect Hot Wheels. Follows the format, but expands on the details of the first edition of the popular Warman's Hot Wheels Field Guide. With one Hot Wheels car sold every six seconds, Mattel's reign on pocket-sized racers is at top speed as the company marks 40 years of die cast devotion. This new edition of the popular portable field guide offers you an extensive collection of Redlines, Blackwalls and Number Pack vehicle details, as well as a "Wheel Guide" for easy identification, not to mention up-to-date secondary market pricing and more than 500 fantastic color photos of some of the finest and most highly prized Hot Wheels cars ever produced. Just like Hot Wheels, this pint-sized guide is poised for top performance.

 Excellent resource for the Hot Wheels fan! November 23, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This small but concise volume is Warman's Hot Wheels Field Guide: Values and Identification (2nd edition), which was released on October 30, 2007. It was purchased as a gift for an avid Hot Wheels collector, shortly after he had noted that it would be good to have a small and simple book to keep in the car as a quick reference book when casually shopping for cars for his collection.
This new edition should not be confused with Warman's Hot Wheels Field Guide, which was published in May 2003. That older version features a Deora on the front cover.
After a couple of weeks worth of use, he commented that its 500+ pages are chock full of good information. Though it's not the ultimate resource on HotWheels cars, it's perfect as a handy quick reference when shopping at the local chain and toy stores for that occasional rare car that does slip through. There's good info on Blackwalls, Redlines and the Number Pack details, and has over 500 color photos of some of the highly prized Hot Wheels cars, along with a decent "Wheel Guide" for easy identification of some of the rarities that pop up on the racks.
If you're looking for something larger and more detailed, you might wish to look into Hot Wheels Variations: The Ultimate Guide (3rd edition), also by Michael Zarnock, and published July 6, 2007.
All in all, this compact volume is perfect for what has been described by the publisher, and a good handy reference for the hobbyist, casual collector or avid Hot Wheels fan. Add to that, it's a great gift.

This little book fits right into your pocket. You can take it with you when you go on your "treasure hunts"
 Good information, but too incomplete. February 29, 2004

This book has some good information, but is very incomplete. It does not even contain the deora car that is on the front cover and title page of the book!!! This book only lists mint in package prices and many cars have been left out. It also contains very little variations. If you are looking for a complete price guide, look somewhere else.
Wish this Guide was more comprehensive July 24, 2003

It is not clear in the description of this book that only a relatively small sample of Hot Wheels are featured and the only values listed are for "mint packaged vehicles". Because of these limitations, this book was of little value to me.
