The book though comprehensive is outdated in a world of online interactivity. Blurry photos in black & white do not allow the detail required for today's collector to come through. The book also expires each year and must be repurchased. 2 Thumbs DOWN! A better choice would be the NEW Crystal Collectors Register by author Sue Bilich. This Full-Color reference guide is more detailed, updatable and very informative. Excellent quality! This is the book collectors have been waiting for and will finally put the Warner Guides where they belong. In the TRASH !

Warner's book is still the most useful companion for the Swarovski collector on the market. However, the pictures are poor (and only black and white), there are a host of page errors in the index, and there is no index by product number. No prices are given for the European editions, although clearly they could be found from Swarovki's Austrian price list. In addition, the text is renewed each year so to stay upto date it is necessary to buy a new copy yearly. In the era of the internet it should be possible to get updates on-line (particularly as Swarovski's year 2000 new products are not even in the 2000 edition). Hopefully competition is on the way.

I have been looking for just such a book for a long time and no one seemed to know of anything like it. The book was found in a small Swarovski shop in Branson Missouri. I knew when I started to look at it, it was THE book i've been looking for! Wish ther was a pocket version like the Beanie Babies have.Can't wait to get started on our inventory
