5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for enjoyment or for reference, April 28, 2000

By	Tammy (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This is a great book- lots of bright, colorful, close-up pictures of the toys and dolls along with their values (values seem to run pretty true). The older items (pre-60's) is included as a value guide- but not many pictures. Fabulous for the FisherPrice doll collectors and Little People collectors. Also covers puzzles, pre-school toys and adventure people- it has everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Fisher-Price Guide that Has it ALL!, September 18, 1999

By A Customer

As, An avid Collector of Fisher-Price and Other Toys, I prefer Toy Guides that have bright colorful pictures, accurate descriptions of what originally came with the toys or sets, and a value guide that lists the information on the same page as the toy...so you don't have to flip back and forth between pages to figure it out. I also like it to be easy to use as a reference book so I can locate a toy quickly...This book by Brad Cassity & Gary Combs has it all. It is filled with information on the History of Fisher-Price and beautiful color pictures of Fisher Price Toys and Playsets. It also contains the toy numbers and approximate value at time of printing-(in the introduction it tells how the value is determined and there is a current value with EACH toy description). I also enjoyed the extra bits of information about some of the artists for the lithos and toy designs. Truly The Best I have in my collection Of over 30 Toy Guides-this is the one I turn to most often!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!!:-)
