4.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy the large paperback version!, December 16, 2005
By margyc (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I saw both versions of this book--the smaller mass-market paperback and the larger paperback--in a local bookstore. Thinking that the larger book would use a larger font, which would be easier for my husband and me to read, I opened it--only to discover that the font size is identical in both versions! The only differences are in the margin width--and, of course, in the price. The smaller paperback is $9, while the larger one is $20!! So you pay an extra $11 for wider margins--whoopee! I took off a star for this. I have always enjoyed Maltin's reviews and agree with him most of the time, but this marketing deceit is shameful and unethical, and he should not be associated with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Version, August 8, 2005
I have nothing against the guide itself. I have several earlier copies but I would warn anyone to check the book first. In the copy I have the pages between 496 and 561 are entirely missing. Pages 961 to 1024 are in it twice. A gross error by the publisher that should never have been shipped.

1.0 out of 5 stars LESS THAN ETHICAL and more....., January 8, 2006
By JP "rocketman2" (Townsend, MT USA) - See all my reviews
If you think you are buying a more comprehensive edition each year...take a look at the numbers:

2000 has 20,000 entries, 300+ new entries, 14,000 VHS-9,ooo DVD
2004 has 18,000 entries, 300+ new entries, 13,000 VHS-8,ooo DVD
2005 has 18,000 entries, 300+ new entries, 13,000 VHS-7,ooo DVD
2006 has 16,000 entries, 300+ new entries, 14,000 VHS-8,ooo DVD

"Including 300+ new entries" means to me they have ADDED new entries (movies) to last years edition, when in fact, the new edition has lost 4000 entries (movies) from 2000 to 2006, 2,000 from 2005 to 2006 versions! NOT GOOD and more.....

At a glance it appears older movies are being removed. For the first time, today, I noticed there is a "classic version" being published. The people involved are slowly removing older movies and publishing them in this new classic version. Apparently there is some duplication also. 'Little stealth there? Where does that leave the Movie Guide buyers? Ripped off, and now forced to buy another book to get the same coverage one expects and should have in the original according to the account on the front cover!

I tried to find roughly 13 movies released on DVD in 2005, meaning, in most, if not all cases, they were released to the theatres much earlier. I FOUND ONE! Was I UPSET? YES!

This isn't a 2006 guide, it's what the 2005 should be. Soon we will have a 2010 version, published in 2008, which will not include movies released in 2006!

This Leonard Maltin's 2006 Movie Guide goes back to the unethical persons (for the censors) who are involved in its structure and misleading (and possibly) intentionally deceptive methods.

Avidity abounds.
