How a company like Ty lets this so-called authority write books like this is crazy! What does he do buy them - randomly throw values at them... You try to sell the beanies at his prices. Good luck. So misleading, wish he would stop ruining the market.

I think that this book was a diffident wast of money. It has little if any info on beanie babies. All it is is a cookbook. Take my advise and save your money.

I really injoyed the book. Others who don't like it must be nuts. It tells you the birthdates and full colored pictures and current values and the values in 2008. Also when it is likely to retire. It also gives you the poem on the certain beanies tag and the 10 most vauluble beanies and if you want to look up a certain beanie it is easy because it's in alphabetical order.Other beanie book don't always have the correct value or don't have it at all and gives no further info. The only problem with the book is that it only gives you guesses when it will retire. Other than that i would recomed it. I wish that they made one for 1999!

check it. site got alot of reviews explains alot 'bout stuff.

its...a cookbook, think so anyways: 1. lots of people say so

b. books got a cake on the front 3. yeah people say so

theirs my proof got it all set for ya have fun ;)

I havent read the first couple of editions of this book but I found this one to come in handy. I collect Beanie Babies for my 8 year old neice and I use this book to keep track of the ones she has and the ones she desperatley wants!...I'm sure the prices are off a bit but who of you knows how much money a plush toy with a perfect tag will be in the year 2000!!?? Chill...The Authors are just estimating.

Of all the Beanie Babie books that I have seen out there, I feel that this book is the best and that it is funny and interesting. One thing I would do in the next addition would be to leave out all the extra fluff of games and food and just stick to the Beanie Babie stuff. Also, the authors might want to lighten up on all the family/self photograpghs....We want to see Beanie Babies...Not your family album!

I used to think this book was the greatest, but when I got serious about Beanies, I realized that the prices for this book were so outdated. They're so much cheaper than the realistic prices on the secondary market. Also, the retirment dates are inaccurate. It's a fun book for kids who aren't serious collectors to look at, but it isn't the most accurate or informative.

This edition of the Beanie Baby Handbook amazes me! It tries to be as up-to-date as possible, which is difficult in the world of Ty.

There are separate sections for current, retired, and Teenie Beanie Babies. The book also includes an offer to join the Unofficial Beanie Baby Fan Club, lyrics to Beanie Baby songs, news flashes, etc. Great photos, too!

Each Beanie "profile" has the Beanie's photo and also lists its birthday, poem, and miscellaneous information about that Beanie.

I definitely recommend this book! :-)

This book is a great value for the money. I bought Les & Sue Fox's first Beanie Baby Handbook, and I liked that one. This book has more pages with more information and is still a great price for what you get. It not only has GREAT pictures, catagorized by current and retired, and showing a lot of variations (like 3 different Zips), but it also has games for children, Beanie list, birthday list, Beanie hunter tips and recommendations. It's handy to carry with you, if needed, because it's paperback and not too big. I ordered it 4/15/98 and received it 4/18/98...only waited 3 days.

half this book is recipes with fancy beanie baby names and if I wanted recipes I would have oredered a recipe book. the other one fourth of the book actually shows the beanies and their prices they are worth.

Everyone is ranting about the book. I agree with the prices- their not very accurate. But I bought this fo rthe reipes. As a Beanie baby lover, I thought the recipes were witty and well planned to the certain beanies we all know an love. Go Beanie chef Jeanette Long!
