Here is the most comprehensive collection of toy and model buses ever presented in one book!
Experience the evolution of bus transportation as you explore a worldwide showcase of buses from the 1920s to the present. This book provides a unique resource for discovering an extensive variety of buses and over 150 toy companies who made them.
These models feature coaches of most major manufacturers of buses; American, European and Asian coaches are shown in the actual liveries (trim) of scores of bus companies. Also featured are school buses, trolley buses and others.
With over 500 color photographs of over 1100 buses, here is the missing link in the transportation toy library, the book that bus lovers have been waiting for!
