5 comments about Collectible Compact Disc Price Guide 2 (Collectible Compact Disc Price Guide).

1. This book contains an extremely detailed history of digital media. The listings are out of date but the information contained in the first half of the book MORE than makes up for this shortcoming. Anyone interested in collecting cds NEEDS a copy of this book. It would also be useful for students of history and technology.



2. Because of cd collecting being relatively new there hasn't been an established price guide so some pricing may be off. However this guide cotains a great deal of cd information and goes a long way in identifying rare and collectable cd's. When I first purchased this book about 6 years ago I wasn't even aware of collectable cd's. Since then I found countless rare and valuable cd's in used cd bins.



3. 80% of my collection was not even listed in this book. I became very frustrated when they didn't even list the complete bands discography. To top that off, most were singles that were listed.



4. Admittedly, some of the pricing is way off and could use a refresh. But this field of collecting is so new (even the author points that out) that it is very difficult to establish pricing. For overall layout and identification of early CD's, there is simply no other guide out there. Great coverage of things like the "Edison Sampler", which was the first compact disc ever pressed in the U.S. As a bonus, Laser Discs are covered as well.



5. This is the best book on music collecting I have ever seen. The two prior reviews couldn't be more WRONG! This guide has tons of color pictures of collectible CDS and information on just about every aspect of the compact disc and CD collecting. The book also has a huge listing of collectible CDs from around the world (more so than most record guides). This is a book that I have read over and over again and always find something new. I give this book five stars and is a must for every CD collector. (Plus it only cost me the same as a CD.)

1 comments about Dictionary of Blue & White Printed Pottery Vol. 2 (Dictionary of Blue & White Printed Pottery, 1780-1880).

1. The most comprehensive references on transferware pottery are basically boring lists: You use them to reference a specific item, and not much else.
   This book is so much more.
   It's a top reference work, but is also the sort of book you can put on the coffee table - or curl up with in bed for an absorbing couple of hours reading.
   Highly recommended.

2 comments about The Book of Griswold & Wagner: Favorite Piqua, Sidney Hollow Ware, Wapak : With Price Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors).

1. Being a collector, dealer and trader with my own online cast iron business..., this the what most collectors call the Bible of Griswold or the BLUE book. It is well laid out with great pictures. The author, Dave Smith, is friendly and easy to approach with questions and is very knowledgeable. It is the first book I go to.



2. Finding the author online and then finding his book. What a great book for the first time collector, the continuing collector or the expert. Precise information presented in and easy to read format. Great pictures and lots of neat little notes. A sample of the pricing of any and all. Includes a short history of most of the companies that have made cast iron cookware, and other items in cast iron.

2 comments about Big Little Books: A Collector's Reference & Value Guide.

1. This 176 page guide contains over 800 great, full color, sharp photos of book covers. The values have been updated to 1996. Topics range from Whitman Big Little Books and Big Big Books to Tarzan, Dell Fast Action, Disney and Comic Character books. The amount of text is limited to brief discussions of history, where to purchase, condition, storage and care. If you enjoy collecting this topic, you'll enjoy this volume and refer to it often. Add it to your library.



2. It was disappointing since it only covers the Whitman Publishing company Little Big Books. If you want the prices of other publishers you need an additional book. The number of pages in the LBBs are not listed nor are the artists. There are many pluses to this guide. The photographs of the books are great. They show you what the books look like in top condition. The guide is easy to use, since the listings are alphabetical. In the back is a handy check list to mark off what you have in your collection (a column for the price you paid for your book would have been useful). It is a book I would recommend to add to your references on Little Big Books.

1 comments about Madame Alexander Store Exclusives and Limited Editions: Identification & Values.

1. This is an excellent reference book for the Madame Alexander doll collector. Being a Madame Alexander Doll Club member I found particularly helpful the section on Madame Alexander Club dolls from the early years of the club. It was the first time I had seen some of these. Also enjoyed seeing the store specials and one of a kind dolls. Recommend this book to any Madame Alexander collector.
