2.0 out of 5 stars
e for effort,
By John L. Mack (AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Batman: The Unauthorized Collector's Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
The Porter book is good, but it centers MOSTLY on the comics. Our family prefers the Batman Toy and Collectibles Price Guide by John L. Mack which has much better coverage of Batman collectibles, is up-to-date and has NEW Batman toys in it with MODERN pricing. The publisher of Porter's book should do John Macks'! E-mail him at: batboy@azstarnet.com I'm sure he'd love to hear from you
