5.0 out of 5 stars THE DEFINITIVE and WONDERFUL Guide for the TAMMY Collector!, January 26, 1999

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Tammy: The Ideal Teen: Identification & Values (Paperback)

Cindy and Susan have done a FABULOUS job of cataloging Ideal's Tammy from 1961 to 1965! Full-color photos of all the the Tammy ephermera are most welcome (and so needed) for collectors who may not be able to easily identify Tammy items after 35+ years.

As a Tammy collector, this guide has helped me refamiliarize myself with the Tammy line once more - and 'tweeners' like myself truly enjoy the comprehensive and very clear manner these items are reintroduced!

Drawback: Suggested prices simply 'beg' to be updated, as most of the online trading world and antique collectors recognize that the suggested secondary market prices for Tammy items are not completely 'in sync' with what's currently being offered.

This book will have you falling in love all over again with Tammy ... !

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for the Tammy Fan, March 27, 2003

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Tammy: The Ideal Teen: Identification & Values (Paperback)

I used to own this book when it was first printed but unfortunately I lost it in a flood a year after i bought it. anyways this is an awesome book fro the Tammy collector and an even better book for beginners to get to know Tammy and her family. With so many books out there about Barbie and her family many people forget there were other popular and collectible dolls from the sixties or as I like to call it the "Golden Age" of Fashion Dolls. My only problem with this book is that they should have shown the Dad/Ted fashions out of the package and they should really update the book because the pricing is a little outdated(even for Tammy which is still relatively cheaper than Barbie). Other than that great book for anyone interested in the world of Tammy
