Warman's Little Golden Books: Identification And Price Guide

Steve Santi is THE MAN when it comes to Little Golden Books (LGBs). And this 6th Edition of his definitive guide is THE BOOK for all lovers and collectors of the little treasures. Very well-laid out with chapters on The Historyof LGBs, Regular, Disney, Giant, First, Big, Little, Foreign and other book series. Excellent photos of almost every single LGB, extensive detail of multiple editions, advice for grading and identifying editions, back cover and spine designs.

This book is one I refer to and browse through often, and I recommend it most highly to all lovers of children's picture books.

If you are a collector of Little Golden Books, this is a must-have. It lists all the titles, including pictures of the covers, dating back to the first Little Golden Books. It also describes the history of the Books, with some great pictures. For me, it helped me remember a lot of the books I had as a child, thus helping my collection grow because I knew what to search for! And it did lead me to a bit of an obsession of working out how much my collection was worth. If you've ever wondered when a book was printed, it's edition etc, then this is what you need. Even if you're not a collector and just a fan, this book has something for you - I showed a collegue at work and she was amazed at how many books there actually were. Highly recommend this to anyone, young or old.

Nowhere else will you find more information about Little Golden Books. There are many thumbnail pictures that help in identification for every book made up until the book's publication date.

Loved this book. Great guide to Little Golden Books. We now take it with us when we are searching for books.

This is a fantastic guide but probably more suitable for American market than the international market. I do find it useful though and love having images of all of the covers. the Australian section is most interesting for me.

Thank you.
