Betty Boop deserves a book!,
By "boopman" (ARLINGTON, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Betty Boop Memorabilia with Values (Paperback)
For over 70 years, companies have been producing Betty Boop dolls, figurines, cookie jars, pins, keyrings and about everything else you can imagine. Collectors have been busy buying everything from trinkets to limited edition porcelain dolls. At long last, Mr. Ellis has compiled a reference guide that highlights some of these items, detailing their origins and history. A price guideline goes along with the description so collectors have some idea of what a reasonable value is for a particular item. The first reference guide dedicated to the queen of cartoons, an invaluable guide for collectors. The number and quality of the photos is outstanding, even though only about 10-percent of the collectibles on the market are shown in this book.

Awesome Betty Boop finally gets the attention she deserves!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Betty Boop Memorabilia with Values (Paperback)
Finally! Someone bright enough to give Betty Boop her due! Mr. Ellis obviously loves his subject, and by showing us how Boop's endearing image has been immortalized through the years, he not only reminds already loyal fans just how special she is, but has also created a tool by which future generations will learn to love her. I can't wait to see Volume 2!!!
