The Judy Garland Collector's Guide is a great book, especially for people who are just starting to collect Garland items. It has photographs of a good range of items from those that the beginner can easily obtain, to items such as original movie costumes, posters, and autographs for the more serious collector. This book, in my opinion, is better described as a reference guide rather than a price guide. If you are looking for exact prices for items, you won't find them here. Prices are set up in groups (Ex: $25 - $65). A few items do not have prices at all. Still, it is filled with both color and black & white photographs of memorabilia such as Wizard of Oz items, a wristwatch, writing tablets, sheet music, lobby cards, and includes a nice portrait gallery. I would recommend it to any Judy Garland or movie memorabilia collector!

This book is interesting, to see some of the many Judy Garland collectibles that have existed in the last 80+ years, but it is hardly definitive. It really needs to be updated...the number of Judy items that I have, that are not mentioned in this book, could make up a second volume alone! The book was in perfect condition, though, so that is something I can't complain about. We just need More Judy...always!

I liked this! A few things, a very few things, I have, but I like seeing what could be out there. It's a big 'could' but I still think this is a fun book to have.
