Avon Collector's Encyclopedia, 16th Edition is the official Avon collector's price guide, and its latest edition has been revamped cover to cover to present over 200 categories of products. From vanity sets to Avon awards and trinkets, this is filled with black and white photos of items and their latest price information.

This is a great book for collectors of AVON and Cape Cod Products. Recently used it to price a few items for sell on eBay.com. Only thing that would make the book better is if it where to contain color photos, rther than the black and white ones.

I was under the impression that the book had more of a variety of "collectibles" than shown. I have several items from the 60's to the late 80's that I could not find. The collectible I was most interested in finding was a set of 4 Birds from 1986. All 4 are stamped except one--the owl--does not have the year on the base.

Bud Hastin has done an outstanding job in the research for publication of this book. It is without a doubt the best guide ever produced for the collectors of Avon Products. If you even have a thought about the value of an Avon Collectible in your possession this book is a must. Bud is the leading authority in the world on the hobby of Avon Collecting and it shows in the contents of this book. Don't be without it. I have two.

I just received this book and was very disappointed.I have an older avon book with color pages and handy guide.This book had unclear,black and white pictures.Hard to use.I definately would not recommend this book for a collector.

I continue to be amazed at the quality and value of Bud Hastin's Avon Collector's Encyclopedia. I now own the last 3 editions - and this is the best. Simply a must if you ever need to identify or find the value of an Avon Collectible.

This book proved very helpful to me, but, there were some Avon items I have that I believe should have been in the book (alongside similar items), but, were not. I would suggest people buy this book if they have Avon items, but, remember that the book is not inclusive.

I bought this book for several different reasons but mainly for Avon beer steins...most of which my husband has...and didn't get enough information from this book to really be able to price even one out of all that he has...My husband and I both agree that this book is short on information, details, and inventory. Really wish that I had not bought the book.
