DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the 1960s, model kit building was a huge hobby. Kids built plastic kits of planes, tanks, race cars, space ships, creatures from scary movies, you name it. Before baseball card collecting, Pokémon, and video games, model kit building was one of the most popular hobby activities. Car and airplane kits were the most popular, and among the car kits, muscle cars, as we know them today, were one of the most popular categories. Many owners of real muscle cars today were not old enough to buy them when the cars were new, of course. Yet kids of the 1960s and 1970s worshiped these cars to an extent completely foreign to kids today. If you couldn’t afford or were too young to buy a muscle car back then, what could you do? For many, the next best thing was to buy, collect, and build muscle car kits from a variety of kit companies. Hundreds were made. Many of these kits have become collectible today, especially in original, unassembled form. Although people still build kits today, there is a broad market for collectors of nostalgic model kits. People love the kits for the great box art, to rekindle fond memories of building them 40 years ago, or even as a companion to the full-scale cars they own today. Here, world-leading authority Tim Boyd takes you through the entire era of muscle car kits, covering the options, collectability, variety availability, and value of these wonderful kits today. Boyd also takes you through the differences between the original kits, the older reproduction kits, and the new reproduction kits that many people find at swap meets today. If you are looking to build a collection of muscle car kits, interested in getting the kits of your favorite manufacturer or even just of the cars you have owned, this book will be a valuable resource in your model kit search.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe connection between childhood and poetry runs deep. And yet, poetry written for children has been neglected by criticism and resists prevailing theories of children's literature. Drawing on Walter Ong's theory of orality and on Iain McGilChrist's work on brain function, this book develops a new theoretical framework for the study of children's poetry. From Tongue to Text argues that the poem is a multimodal form that exists in the borderlands between the world of experience and the world of language and between orality and literacy – places that children themselves inhabit. Engaging with a wide range of poetry from nursery rhymes and Christina Rossetti to Michael Rosen and Carol Ann Duffy, Debbie Pullinger demonstrates how these 'tactful' works are shaped by the dynamics of orality and textuality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDid you ever wonder how much money the person who just unlocked your car actually makes for a living? He just charged you $60 for thirty seconds of actual work, but surely he doesn't get to keep all of it, or does he? He must have overhead, a storefront, expensive equipment and years of training? Maybe…or just maybe he works from home, out of his car, with minimal tools and experience, advertising online and pocketing $200-$300+ per day. Perhaps he’s knocking down six-figures a year, driving around town providing roadside services to other people who are trying to get to their "real" jobs (working for someone else). Meet Jon Taylor, founder of Quick Pick Lockout Service and MrQuickPick™ Lock & Road Service. A former hotel manager, Jon would often assist his guests with their automotive needs, calling on auto clubs to help with a tire change, dead battery or keys locked in a car. Sometimes it would take so long for help to arrive that he would simply grab some tools and do it himself. That’s when he realized he could put his own business savvy and strong work ethic into starting and running his own “lock & road” service. His company, Quick Pick Lockout Service, would gross over half a million dollars in it's first three years and, in the process, win AAA’s prestigious Member’s Choice Award for three consecutive years. What started as a small business venture unlocking cars with a friend quickly turned into a multi-state enterprise! He has since taken this model for success and helped numerous others (including disabled veterans, like himself) get into business for themselves as MrQuickPick™ licensees within their own hometowns. Now MrQuickPick™ take's you step-by-step through the entire process, covering everything from the tools and training to the successful marketing plan that enables this business model to thrive for practically anyone, anywhere!
