I am a big Shirley Temple fan, and I loved this book.

It has a lot of information, and many color photo's.
I enjoyed it very much.

thank you,

This is a must have for all Shirley collectors or just Shirley fans. Very informative and very impressive.

Not your run-of-the-mill price guide but one that entertains and makes you want to start reading it over again when finished. The author's diligence in putting the photos and prices together are apparent throughout the entire book. Anyone who doesn't love this book and appreciate the author's hard work in putting it together, just can't really be an honest to goodness Shirley Temple fan! ....Love the cover too!

I was attracted by the books cover at first and was delighted to find that it was well layed out. Details seem to be relevant. Visually delightful. Interesting to see so many beautiful and unusual dolls attributed to a such a talented person. Author shows great enthusiasm for the subject. Truely a must have for any real Shirley Temple fan !

My wife and I really enjoyed this book. We read it 3 times and keep finding things we missed the first few times!
There are many great things about this book, and I think other Shirley fans will really enjoy it too!

Great stories, wonderful photographs and lots of new information.
Current market prices and tid bits to enjoy!!
THANK YOU

Awesome and amazing! Need I say more! This book is fabulous as was Volume One! The pictures are incredible and the information is extremely helpful. This author did a fantastic job creating this price guide for all the Shirley fans in the world who just can't get enough! It has been quite a while since an author has done a new Shirley price guide and it was much needed. But this Author's version was much different than the other price guides as it shows everything and anything that is out there...old and new! Shows us Shirley fans that there is still a high demand for our loved Shirley and her memorbilia. Highly recommend! A++++++

This is a wonderful identification guide to collecting Shirley Temple items and dolls for the new or advanced collector.The large color photos and descriptions keep me coming back to the book for enjoyment and reference. Not only that, but the author has a refreshing way with words that give the book personality.A teacher one told me years ago " Books are our Friends".In this case its true. Again, I give the book Shirley Temple Identification And Price Guide by Suzanne Kraus-Mancuso 5 Stars!

Everyone's favorite curly-haired moppet is also quite the collectible kid. Temple fan and collector Suzanne Kraus-Mancuso has complied two volumes that identify and help set value to sundry Shirley goodies, including posters, autographs, dolls and records. The 300 color photographs are fascinating --- Shirley's image on a series of vintage 1930s Italian cigar bands, a reproduction of her 1936 life insurance policy (she was 8; the amount was $300,000), even the obituary of her first hubby, actor John Agar --- make up for Kraus-Mancuso's weak poor and writing style. Enter the Temple if you worship the
Goddess Shirley.

This is one of the most informative books I have ever read, it gives you a real understanding of exactly what the Shirley Dolls, etc., are worth. You can tell that the book is written from the authors heart, and I think that is what makes this so special. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. I would buy another book of this type if another one comes available because of the incredible talent the author has in explaining exactly what these dolls are actually worth and the absolute love Mrs. Mancuso apparently has for the dolls...

I am a collectibles junkee and this book is great! The book is very easy to identify items and the pictures are outstanding. I wish that other collectibles authors would make their books this simple. The author's attention to detail and layout make it easy for anyone to find what they are looking for. I am thoroughly enjoying this book.
