Helpful Guide,

This review is from: The Official Precious Moments Collector's Guide to Figurines, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book is very user friendly, giving you the option to look the items up by either alphabetical or serial number. The book itself has a picture of every single Precious Moment, the different symbols each one could have to determine their worth and even gives you the cost of the original purchase when it first came out. I found the guide to be very helpful. I would highly recommend if you are a collector and would like to know the worth of each Precious Moment. I found that quite a few of them are worth much more than the original cost. I also bought the Bakertowne's Guide, but that guide is not nearly as informative as this one and has no pictures of the figurines.

Excellent "must have" book if you are into collecting PM's. Great pictures and information on everything in the figurine department.

The Official Precious Moments Coll. Guide to Figurines 4th is a comprehensive guide to Precious Moments figurines. It has great colored pictures of each one. I think it is an excellent way to keep track of the figurines one has and also the value of one's collection.

Well organized but questionable information,

This review is from: The Official Precious Moments Collector's Guide to Figurines, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I was excited to discover this book, hoping for a more "user friendly" alternative to the standard "Greenbook" guide, which anyway hasn't been updated in more than a decade. The effort with this book is impressive, and I found it well organized and accessible. The photos are certainly a beautiful, very helpful addition. The one knock on the production values is the binding, which even in my brand-new book felt a little iffy and I wonder if it will stand the test of time. However, as with any book of this type, the acid test is the quality of the information, and in that area this book fell flat. Consider the case of figurine #690007 ("Mommy's Love Goes With You"). One of the rarest and most sought-after figurines in the entire Precious Moments line, this figurine was a Chapel Exclusive; the production run was less than a year and fewer than 1500 were made. Recently one was listed on eBay for over $1000. Yet the book incorrectly lists the production status as "open" (its designation for items still available at list price directly from Precious Moments) and consequently gives the resale value as a zero-markup list price of $50. Much more careful attention needs to be paid to the quality of the information before this book can be considered as a serious resource for collectors.

This book is very detailed and easy to follow and index. It also provides a guideline as to value of each figurine which can be useful for insurance purposes as well. A great gift for Precious Moment collectors who never knew what their collection was worth or what the symbols on the bottom mean.

This is an excellent resource for a collector for tracking what you have, what you paid for it, and the date you got it. (items dated in the 1970's may me in the book but the dates are not in the code list) I just write in the year of my items if they aren't listed. If they are listed, I circle the one I have. It is fun.

This review is from: The Official Precious Moments Collector's Guide to Figurines, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I like the book very well but what I am looking for is what was originally called the Green Book that had the original price list of all the PM ever made and their current value now. Those were great to have as they had all the markings for each year, suspended items, retired pieces and anything you might want to know in case you would like to sell any pieces or just for insurance reasons.
Thank You. Paula

I OWN OVER 60 PRECIOUS MOMENTS FIGURINES AND WAS INTERESTED IN OBTAINING A COLLECTORS GUIDE. I HAVE PURCHASED A FEW GUIDES IN THE PAST BUT THIS BOOK WAS THE BEST BY FAR. IT WAS SO EASY TO FOLLOW AND GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION I WAS LOOKING FOR. FROM IT I WAS ABLE TO COMPILE ALL THE IMPORTANT DATA FOR EACH OF MY FIGURINES TO HAND DOWN TO MY CHILDREN.
