2.0 out of 5 stars
Poor descriptions, no photos or graphics, not for me., March 4, 2010
This review is from: Lionel Trains Pocket Price Guide 1901-2010 (Greenberg's Guide to Lionel Trains) (Paperback)
I'm new to the game of collecting / buying Lionel trains. I was looking for a guide that would give me a broad description of the various trains, accessories, etc. made by Lionel over the years (INCLUSIVE OF PHOTOS OF EXAMPLE ITEMS), along with a range of fair-market prices.
Unfortunately, I found that this guide must be tailored to the experience, serious collector who already (and completely) knows Lionel stock. The guide has pages and pages of listings (a good thing), but they only include:
Lionel Item Number; a five or six word description (no photos); excellent price; mint price.
Again, perhaps a good resource for the experience collector. But definitely NOT helpful to someone like me who is trying to learn more about the Lionel family of trains and how to distinguish / recognize them.
Sorry ... but I'll be returning my copy to Amazon.

Consistently good, October 3, 2009
This review is from: Lionel Trains Pocket Price Guide 1901-2010 (Greenberg's Guide to Lionel Trains) (Paperback)
I have the 2007 version of this book. Just received the 2010 version. I buy an update every 3 years. Well written and gives a good idea of the approximate value of each item. Some nice pics too. Worth buying if you are shopping on E-Bay or at a train auction or convention.
