Woo hoo! Here, at long last, is a guide to the ever-expanding world of collectibles inspired by America's longest-running animated sitcom, "The Simpsons." Since their first appearance in 1987, the Simpsons have lent their familiar faces to literally hundreds of items, from dolls and action figures to clocks and cookie jars. With over 500 full-color pictures of Simpsonabilia that range from the everyday to the obscure, Robert W. Getz invites you to join him as he braves this forbidding, spiky-topped Everest. Prefaced with an essay that traces the history of the show and the reasons for its long-lived popularity, The Unauthorized Guide To The Simpsons Collectibles has something to offer every Simpsons collector, from the beginner to the die-hard fan, including a guide to current prices.

Clean pictures,

This review is from: The Unauthorized Guide to the Simpsons Collectibles: A Handbook and Price Guide (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
It's a big book but it can be bigger. Some sections are too small, like cels and others. It is still very good guide and full of high quality pictures. Introduction is great! If you are a Simpsons collector then you have to own this.

A virtual smorgasbord of Simpson memorabilia.,
This review is from: The Unauthorized Guide to the Simpsons Collectibles: A Handbook and Price Guide (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
If there is anything that has been released about "The Simpsons" it is safe to say it can be found here. Getz takes an in-depth look at merchandise from the earliest days of the show to the more recent items. Particularly useful are his sections on "The Simpsons" comic books and trading cards. However, other areas are not neglected. If you have always wanted to see "Simpsons" items from around the world then here is your opportunity. This is a much needed book well worth its price.
