Overall, the ratings and illustrations are thorough and presented very clearly. The only reason I didn't give the price guide 5 stars, is Robert Miller's view on original boxes.

He believes that boxes have no collector value, yet in every other collector market (e.g., toy trains, Avon, Hallmark, Star Wars charecter, etc.) the original boxes sometimes exceed the value of the object, and in virtually every case, the original box substantially increases the value of an item to a collector.

This value of original boxes for Lionel, Marx and other toy train boxes is so great that the boxes are counterfitted.

Mr Miller does a fine job, otherwise. I believe his view that boxes have no value is just a concept that he can't grasp because he's out of touch with collectors. His thinking is based on personal optinion, and has no basis based on real life collectors.

Book is well done with high quality full color pictures of each piece. Recommend this book to others as a go-to Hummel reference guide.

Unfortunately, prices have collapsed. Hummel pieces are selling on EBay for less than half of the values shown in the book. The book can tell you which piece is worth more than another - but the values shown are 3 or 4 times what you can buy the item for on EBay.

Hummels make for a beautiful collection - but do not appear to be a great investment.

I collect Hummel figurines and find this to be one of the best authoritative guides.

Excellent guide and most helpful as a reference tool. Color pictures provided are much better than the previous editions which were in black and white accurate descriptions with rare variations are an invaluable tool in accessing values of the figurines. Olszewski miniatures are also included A great value

Excellent guide book now with its 10th edition in color. Photos are large and clear with short histories of each Hummel displayed; the Hummels are listed in numerical order. There is also an index in alphabetical order giving the Hummel's correct mold number that a person can refer to as well. Hummel Club pieces are listed towards the back of the book and interspersed with the regular Hummels according to their mold numbers. A terrific book for anyone who collects anything be it Hummel figurines, bells or plates.

If you're a collector of hummels, you must have this book. The history on each hummel piece is outstanding. The details are just fascinating. Love the book!

When I started using the Book the pages started to fall out. I think the quality is not there any more. I have an old Book which lasted me for years & this Book I used for maybe 1-2 weeks and is falling apart. To me things do not last anymore & everything is made cheap plus the prices are getting higher & quality lower.

Best guide for Hummels we have ever used. Great details and color pictures. It was shipped and received quickly.

It is the most up to date and complete guide that I have found for Hummel values. It has enabled me to place the proper amount of insurance on my Hummel collection and know what my collection is worth.

I found most of my very original Hummels in the book giving me a good idea what might be worth. Easy to read and use as a guide
