5.0 out of 5 stars It's all new, July 16, 2002
By A Customer
Disregard the review about the "2001" date on the pages -- I have their 2001 guide and all the information in this edition is new and different from that. I asked the publishers and they said their production department put the wrong headers on the top of the page. A mistake which has no effect on the book at all!

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this really a 2002 Price Guide?, March 10, 2002
By A Customer
Although this book is very well set-up and useful, I question whether it actually has updated information in it. The intro section (pages 1-12) are labeled "2002 Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide", but the rest of the pages in the book (13-741) have "2001 Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide" on the top of the page. It appears to be last year's guide wrapped up in a new cover and intro section.
