If you collect Breyers, you can't live without this book. It is the complete history of the Breyer Molding Company and their products. If you need the history of your model, this is the book! Nancy has done YEARS of research to complete this epic. Don't miss it!

This book is very informative. It is great for indentification. Any bryer collector should have this book, whether he/she is an experienced collector or just beggining

"Molds & Models," known around my house as "the blue book," is an indispensable reference to the Breyer collector. Outstanding cross-references and notations on each mold and model make it easy to use. There is an extensive section on the history of Breyer Molding/Reeves International that makes for some fascinating reading as well. Photographs are clear and demonstrate changes in molds over the course of time. I would love to see an updated version, since this one stops at 1997. Along with Felicia Crowell's "Collectors' Guide," this book will help you enjoy and appreciate your Breyer collection even further. (I've been collecting Breyers since childhood.)

This is the "bible" for Breyer model horse collectors. The research is thoroughly documented, the amount of information about the molds and models is astonishing. The only reason I give it four stars is because many photographs are dark and hard to "read." I keep mine in the car for value references at antique shows and collectible fairs.

I love this book! It's a great referance guide... the only beef I have is that I've had mine a little over a year and it's already falling apart. :(

This may just be because I use it lots, but the pages are beginning to come loose and I've ended up with a lot more page tears than I had in similarly used books.

*shrugs* Still, it's a GREAT reference guide! ^_^

This guide is a "must have" for any Vintage Collector or someone who desires to look deeper into the details of the Models they received in their childhood. I use this guide over and over again when looking for the fine details that are not widely known in the general population; ie ebay sellers, antique stores, flee markets ect... It can help you find a treasure in your own attic or else where.
