Whiteread's London studio was located opposite the Lesney company, which was the toy manufacturer of the Matchbox car in the 1970s.

As a child I played with matchbox cars, now my children play with them. A lot of those industrial buildings have been demolished in readiness for the 2012 Olympics. I found an original copy of this book in a junk store in the late 1980's, it seemed like a fitting tribute to those old buildings and the author / illustrator M.Sasek and to those great matchbox cars. I was happy to give it a new lease of life." (R. Whiteread) - Very good and complete copy. With an original zinc casting and one signed ex libris - serigraph.
