A history of Corgi Toys 1956-1983, by Marcel van Cleemput, Corgi's Chief Designer. The book also covers the Mettoy ranges that precursored Corgi. 512 pages, lavishly illustrated and giving a great insight into the design and development of Corgi Toys.
This first edition is number 63 in a limited run of 4000, and comes in an illustrated box with certificate on the inside of the lid. Also included are an 80 page collector's pocket book and a special version of the Routemaster bus, in light blue and deep cream with white interior and 'Great Book Of Corgi' labels.
The books are in mint condition, and the bus is near mint; there is a little box rub on the edge of the radiator and another on a front corner of the roof. The box is complete but has some wear at the edges and a tear at the bottom of the 'spine'.
This is definitely the book to get if you're a Corgi collector!
