3 comments about Book Lover's Page-A-Day 2003.

1. I got this as a gift last year and can't wait for this year's edition to arrive! Be warned: double your annual book-buying budget before you get this; you'll find at least one book a month that you absoltely MUST read. Amazon should give these things away, they'd make their money back a hundred times over.



2. I have been purchasing "Book Lover's Calendar" for the last 3 years or so, and have rarely been disappointed by any of their suggestions. The summaries are well-written, concise and educational. They have introduced me to some fabulous writers, and prompted me to re-read some forgotten favorites. A must-have for any bibliophile!!!



3. I have collected more book suggestions from "The Book Lover's Page-a-Day Calendar's" plentiful source than from any other. Admittedly, I have an eclectic taste in reading material and am always open to a good idea. 2003 will be the fourth year I will be reading the current day's page of "The Book Lover's Page-a-Day Calendar" a part of my morning ritual. My desk drawers and purses are filled with calendar pages torn off over the past three years. The one-paragraph reviews I saved are all about books meant to be further researched and either purchased, borrowed from the library, searched for in out-of-print venues or given as gifts to others. If you are a book lover, I'm sure you won't be able to resist finding out more about books under such headings as "Rediscovered Classics," "You've Never Read (fill in name of classic author)?" "The Writer's Life," "Worth Looking For," and other such teasers. The books reviewed are not always the most popular or well-known, but most have some nugget of appeal that will pique your curiosity. I'm looking forward to starting the 2003 calendar, which like its predecessors, I'm sure will not disappoint. I've learned to order this calendar early on because I've sometimes spent the end of the year searching for a place that still has copies available.

4 comments about Comics Values Annual 2003: The Comic Book Price Guide (Comics Values Annual).

1. There are plenty of price guides for comic books. I like this one because it seems the cleanest to read and follow.



2. Overall, the Comics Values Annual 2003 is an excellent Guide for Comic Book Collectors. It is easy to read and understand. The only thing that bothers me is that the Page Numbers are off by 28 Pages compared to the Index. This must be due to the 28-Page Part in the front of the book. The page numbering should have been started over on Page 29 (where the actual Price Guide begins). I keep this guide together with a calculator, look up the comic in the Index and add 28 Pages to that.



3. The ratings of each comic is very good, however the biggest problem is that the index gives wrong pages as to the location of many of the comics. Then too the binding is coming apart after only 45 days use. It would be a good thing to offer a replacement that is correct and better bound.



4. Well, well, well, it must be a new year because the new slate of comicbook price guides are (finally) out. As always, the best of the bunch is the one put out by CVA. Not only is it the easiest to read, and contains a wealth of information, it is simply the best-organized book of the bunch. I highly recommend it.
