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.

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.

Not what I expected. Vauge in alot of areas of valuation and no Australian titles which has really not helped me at all.

I absoluetly LOVE THIS BOOK! It is small but thick and very handy to carry in your purse or briefcase, or even your glove box. It is very portable. I also love that it is FULL OF COLOR PHOTOS!!!!!! Oh how I love color photos! There are many books listed with a color picture, year printed and a price value for that book. The books are listed ALPHABETICALLY. I found so many from my childhood that I remember so fondly. And many more that i would liek to acquire.---And now I know what I should pay for them so I won't get ripped off!---EXCELLENT!!!!! I would eventually like to get a larger, more comprehensive book of the Little Golden Books. But since they are MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE I AM WATING ON THAT FOR NOW. This book, for the price and everything you get in it, is THE PERFECT FIRST BOOK FOR THOSE WANTING TO START COLLECTING LGB'S. And even if you already have one of the larger, more comprehensive books, this book is still great because it is small and easy to take with you to garage sales, flea markets, Goodwill stores or wherever else you shop for your LGB's. I think everyone who collects or wants to collect LGB's should have THIS BOOK. I am thoroughly pleased with it. I could not have hoped for a nicer first collector's book! 5 Great Big Stars!

I am a new collector of Golden Books and found this guide very informative and easy to use.
