5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest book for serious Hummel Collectors!, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Luckey's Hummel Figurines & Plates: Identification and Value Guide (Luckey's Hummel Figurines and Plates, 11th ed) (Paperback)

I have quiet a few Hummel books, but Luckey's Hummel Figurines and Plates, 11nd Edition is my favorite. The book did educate me in the different Trade Marks on the bottom of the Figurines, The Authors explanation is simple and clear. I purchased many Hummel figurines at Internet Auctions and found that the "Current Value" prices of Mr. Luckey's book are very conservative and very closed to the final Auction prices! I do recommend this book, it is the "real" thing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Luckey's 12th Edition Hummel Book, August 7, 2008

By	M. Alpert "stjohnisle" (Diamond Bar, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is very helpful if you are buying or wanting to know the retail price of a hummel or if there are any markings you should be looking for. Luckey's does give some extra information on some hummels that Miller doesn't have in his book. One thing that would be helpful is to have color pictures of the figurines since many times a figurine's color determines it's age.
