5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Started Guide, May 25, 2010
This review is from: Bone Handbook (Paperback)
I am a huge Bone fan and collector so of course I had to have this as well.
It is similar to The "Bone Sourcebook", but in a book form and printed by Scholastic. The book is about the same size and style as the other softcover Scholastic printings of the Bone comics, so overall it is good quality.
The information inside covers a wide range of topics, from a good overview of the story, the history of Jeff Smith, the fictional history of the valley, some fun facts, and a few rarely seen comic pages with little side stories. With this full-color book you also get a cardboard foldy pop-out thing of one of the stupid rat creatures that is also a little fun in its own way.
If you are new you Bone, this is a good place to start. If you are a Bone veteran, you can pass as you are probably not missing anything that you have never seen before. If you do not plan on reading Bone but want to be prepared for when the movie comes out (in the works right now), this might also work for you in that regard. Overall, a quality product, but a lot of Bone fans can skip it.

My son loves these books!, March 8, 2011
This review is from: Bone Handbook (Paperback)
My 12 year old son is a big comic book reader. He loves all comics, but most of the comics these days are not for the younger audiences since they are really geared more toward the adult audience due to the gore, language, and graphics. The Bone books are published like a comic book so he feels like he is actually reading a comic. It still has an interesting storyline, but not too juvenile for a 12-year old, but not too mature either (and no language). He has the entire set from book 1 up to the last book and he reads them front to back every time and has read a few of them more than once.
I highly recommend these books to children in the age groups of 10-12. They are paperback books, but great quality. For the price, you can't beat it.

"Bone" collectors must have., November 29, 2011
This review is from: Bone Handbook (Paperback)
Nice way to get boys back into their Bone books again, good quality and easy to read. He added it to his collection, but not a good choice to count as "reading" for school.
