5.0 out of 5 stars
Very comprehensive and informative, as well as fun to read,

This review is from: Flexible Flyer and Other Great Sleds for Collectors (Paperback)
Joan certainly knows her stuff when it comes to sleds and 'sledorabilia'. As a collector, I find it an invaluable resource for dating items and the values she has established are a good 'ballpark' for bargaining over prices. Best source I've encountered for Flexible Flyer information.

An unequalled compilation of sleds and their history.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flexible Flyer and Other Great Sleds for Collectors (Paperback)
As a kid, I loved to slide down the hills on my sled. At that time, my trusty, steerable sled provided the biggest thrills of my life. Now everyone can evoke those nostalgic moments by reading this exceptionally well researched and documented book on sleds in general, and Flexible Flyers in particular. The photographs are clear and colorful, and the stories relating the rise and fall of the sled manufacturers are quite interesting. It makes a useful reference book for collectors and I think it would make a fine addition to their library.

Fairly comprehensive. I felt that more information regarding the current value of some of these sleds would have been helpful, though.
