About the Author

John was born in Amityville, New York in 1962. He, his younger brother, and parents stayed in New York until 1972 when his father was transferred to Pennsylvania. They lived in the beautiful Amish country area in Pennsylvania for three years until John’s father was transferred again, this time to New Jersey. John completed his education in New Jersey and at the age of 16 started working for Pathmark Supermarkets as a cart boy and cashier. When John turned 18 he started building a race car, one of his passions through his growing years. Because of his race car building, John became top mechanic and worked with his parents in the service station they owned. John is now a warranty technician for one of the largest insurance companies in the country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Official Precious Moments Collectors Guide to Figurines, May 5, 2004
This review is from: The Official Precious Moments Collector's Guide to Figurines (Paperback)
I have been collecting Precious Moments figurines for 10 years and have nearly 300 pieces at home. It is absolutely a great idea to have a color-printed collection book with all the figurines there. This book really gives me the impetus to "stock-take" all my adorable figurines one-by-one again. By looking at the book, you will see how beautiful and inspirational of each (teardrop-eyed children) porcelain bisque figurine is.

Overall, I would say this book is good and informative and every Precious Moments collector should have one. However, there are still rooms for improvement and I have summarized my comments as follows:
1. Some of the information are not correct, e.g. Shuhei Fujioka is the son of original master sculptor Yasuhei Fujioka, not his brother (P.21) .
2. The production marks of some figurines are not complete (e.g. #768952, #768987 & #795305 should have "egg" production mark as well) .
3. Some of the pictures are come out to be fuzzy.
4. There is no summary/list of all the annual production marks and those special marks.
5. The methodology or way to collect the secondary market price is not mentioned (e.g. from the Greenbook, Kristi's Guide, eBay, etc.)

Last but not least, I would like to say thank you to the authors for their great efforts in compiling this book. I look forward to seeing the improvements and more information in the future editions. I sincerely hope that Precious Moments will continue to flourish and bring happiness to all collectors.
