It features:

-- A detailed price guide listing typical values for more than 1,000 items.

-- More than 375 black-and-white photos, as well as a dozen color ones on the heavy-duty front and back cover. A four-page Photo Index makes it easy to find them all.

-- A brief history of "The Simpsons" and how it became a merchandising marvel.

-- Reviews of Simpsons action figures, collector plates, books, software and other goods.

-- Advice on how to get the best deals when buying Simpsons animation art.

-- A step-by-step autopsy of a talking Bart Simpson doll that reveals exactly how this popular toy works.

5.0 out of 5 stars NO Simpsons fan should be without this book!, November 28, 1999
This review is from: Collecting Simpsons! An Unofficial Guide to Merchandise from The Simpsons (Hardcover)
What can I say? This book is excellent! Just when I thought I had seen every item made regarding the Simpsons, turn the page, and there is something new! The book is highly organized, fun to explore, and will be a valuable resource for a long time to come. I really enjoy how the book is set up in two sections. The first half gives you an overview into the many different categories of Simpsons collectibles. Then the second half of the book is the higly detailed price guide, FULL of pictures! I truly recommend this book for any fan of the Simpsons!

5.0 out of 5 stars As Flanders would say, "IT'S SCRUM-DIDDILY-UMSCIOUS!", December 3, 1999
This review is from: Collecting Simpsons! An Unofficial Guide to Merchandise from The Simpsons (Hardcover)
Instead of History 101 this is SIMPSONS COLLECTING 101. It is a very well written, and highly entertaining book, for anyone who knows THE SIMPSONS are not related to OJ! It's not your basic "collecting book" but much more. Just an all around great book that makes me want to shout WOO HOO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, November 29, 1999
This review is from: Collecting Simpsons! An Unofficial Guide to Merchandise from The Simpsons (Hardcover)
I've been collecting Simpsons memorabilia for several years and have been following the Collecting Simpsons website since just after its inception. I can unequivocally say that Bill LaRue's book is AWESOME! Whether you are a beginner to the hobby or a veteran looking for some new collecting inspiration, this book covers Simpsons collectibles like no other written material available. The book is fun and easy to read, well organized and practically updated for free through the website. It's a must have for any Simpsons fan.
