5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Little Book, November 7, 2005

This review is from: Warman's Little Golden Books Field Guide: Values and Identification (Warman's Field Guides) (Paperback)

Steve Santi's latest book covering Little Golden Books is proof positive that big things come in small packages. Colorful, nostalgic, fun, this is an awesome package. The field guide features more than 700 color pictures and more than 1,100 listings and prices of books. It's beautiful, and a collector's dream. I gave this book to my wife, a Little Golden Books collector. Because the book is organized alphabetically by book title we had no problem finding the books she has, or the books she remembered from her childhood. She loves the book. And I bet you will too. It's just a super little book packed with color photographs and great memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK as a take-along, or for beginning collectors, March 14, 2006

Unless you need a take-along guide for garage sales and thrift stores, or you know nothing about the LGB's you're starting to collect... you'll get lots more information for the $$ if you buy the 5th edition of "Collecting Little Golden Books: A Collector's Identification and Price Guide."

This is an absolute must-have for the serious Little Golden Book collector! If you like to know how much the LGBs are worth, THIS is THE book!! Don't get ripped off by sellers (such as EBay) or by sellers at flea markets/garage sales who may be asking too much, and you can talk to them to talk down the price! (I did, and it works!) This book will tell you exactly how much the book is worth.
