3 comments about Beckett Unofficial Guide to Pokemon Price Guide.

1. Kids seem to think it was worth it. Came with a price guide. Cheaper than buying it the store.



2. I bought this book when it was first released a few months ago thinking it would be similar to the original Beckett Pokemon TCG guide (which you can still buy on Amazon). The original contained nice pictures of all of the cards, grouped into sets, in order. They even went so far as to include and translate all of the current Japanese cards (which were quite a lot at the time) in the same manner as the USA cards. Also were included pictures and lists of all the current Promo cards (US and Japan) and even Japanese oddities like the Japanese only Vending set.
   
   That brings me to the new "updated" 2007 edition of the guide. The bulk of this book is nothing more than a list of every pokemon from Red/Blue, Silver/Gold, and Ruby/Sapphire with a random image of a card featuring them. The rest is the standard text only list price guides / check lists in the back. But even these are incomplete. Many sets don't include any cards other than the Rares, making the book useless for any kind of record keeping.
   
   In short I was dissapointed with the book as it serves no real practicle purpose. No sets with card images, no complete check lists, nothing I couldnt have found for free either from Nintendos Pokemon TCG website or elsewhere on the internet.
   
   If you want a "Pokedex" type book I suggest the Prima guide that includes actual game information for every pokemon from every game.
   
   As for this book, its a complete waste of money.Pokemon 10th Anniversary Pokedex (Prima Official Game Guide)



3. My nephew requested this for Christmas and was very pleased with it.

2 comments about The Great War Through Keystone Stereographs.

1. Unlike the first reviewer, I bought this book for what it is, a resource for understanding Keystone World War One stereoviews. If you're looking for a picture book of WWI, I agree, this ain't it. The late Tex Treadwell compiled a list of over 1000 WWI stereoviews issued by Keystone View Company. No boxed set ever exceeded 400 views. The author of this book has managed to figure out which ones went with which boxed set, the year that they got included & when various views got deleted. In many instances the origin (source) of the view has been figured out. Personally, I am impressed with the author's efforts and like the book. If you collect World War One stereoviews this book is a must.



2. This is a collector's guide to Keystone stereo views of World War I--namely lists and information on the views available. If you actively collect this genre, this is a great guide. But if you're looking for a book of photographs (stereo or mono) of the Great War--forget it, you'll be (like me) very disappointed.
