### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very informative book about Meccano, the original metal construction set
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2012*

Hobbyists who are interested in the famous toy maker, Meccano Limited of Liverpool, England, will be happy with this book.  The book is affordable and is packed with excellent color pictures of Meccano sets and literature, some of which are now spectacularly rare and expensive.  Included are pictures of the first sets from the 1901 to 1907 era, "Mechanics Made Easy", before the brand name "Meccano" was coined, as well as examples all the way to 1979, when production in Liverpool stopped.Ironically, "Erector" in the United States, which was started in 1912 after Meccano had been on the market for over a decade, finally stopped it's production in the 1960s or 70s (not sure of the exact date) but the name "Erector" has been bought by the Meccano company in France, which still makes construction sets.  That French company used to be the French subsidiary of Meccano Limited and was the survivor after 1979, and is still producing sets and parts today.  In the USA, "Erector" sets can be found in toy stores and, occasionally, at Walmart and Costco and other places, but if you look carefully they are made by "Meccano N.A." of France.Good book and recommended for anyone interested in the product and it's history.  Erector set afficionados might find it interesting as well.

    A worthy effort
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2013*

Considering the scarcity of current literature on Meccano, this is not a bad book for someone who wants to know the history of this incredibly successful "toy".A little less informative for the advanced hobbyist.The bibliography is incomplete and leaves out key publications such as  "La fantastique Epopée de Meccano"On a Kindle Fire the illustrations are excellent and alone worth the price of the book.Roberto Pensotti

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very well done

Good history of Meccano.  Illustrations and pictures are good quality. Text is well written and edited. Recommend for anyone interested in Meccano.
