4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you have it all handy, July 2, 2000

By	"tower33" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

I found this book is extremely helpful if I have all the information about the object. That would be company, artist, series, year, name, number, and edition. This would be the order needed to look things up. For example: Goebel > MI Hummel > Pen Pal Series > 1996 > Sister Hum > 98 > 5/O. In some cases, I did not know the name or year just the company and/or number. Numbers with editions should be listed in a separate column. I am still looking for a figurine by company and number. I would recommend this for someone that has plenty of information on the object(s). I, also, wish there had been more catagories and companies. This book does cover the "popular" companies. I was pleased that I bought it because the majority of my items were listed in there.
