Flower Class Corvettes: Extraordinary book.

Flower Class Corvettes: Extraordinary book.

The Illustrated Kemlows Strory Including the Mastermodel Story: A Good Guide to a Great Obscure Brand

The Illustrated Kemlows Strory Including the Mastermodel Story: A Good Guide to a Great Obscure Brand
Information on makes like Kemlow is hard to come by, so this is a great resource - a concise history of the brand is followed by listings of its products, complete with images of lots of unusual and hard-to-find models and toys. Not so much a "fun read" type book, ...
