4 comments about Halloween Collectables : A Price Guide.

1. I bought this book because I like to collect new and vinatge Halloween decorations. I used the book while looking around Ebay for items. Comes in handy. Could use some more detail in describing items but still worth the money.



2. This book was very informative and straight-forward. Included very clear, concise photos of vintage Halloween collectables with an up-to-date price guide reference. I would recommend this to anyone interested in vintage Halloween items.



3. This book is a wonderful depiction of the vast varieties of Halloween collectables you may find. I find this reference book to be very accurate and also the items you see listed are items you may actually come across and want to purchase. Unlike some antiques reference books, this shows the actual item in question...not something similar that leaves you wondering about the true value.

   A must have for every Halloween memorabilia collector.

3 comments about Guide to Tarzan Collectibles.

1. I enjoyed it very much reading the sories of Tarzan when I was a boy. The first time I saw a movie on the big screen was Tarzan and the leopard woman. I would like to buy one book I read of Tarzan, where there was a dictionary of the language that he speaks with the apes. If there is anyone who has a book with that language, please contact me by my email address: cersiste@yahoo.com.



2. As a long-time fan and collector of ERB memorabilia, I truly welcomed the book written by Mr. Erardi. I'm pretty sure that it becomes useful source of information to everyone who wants to start his/her own collection. Experienced collectors may feel a little disappointed, but for youngsters this is simply great, and written with an influential passion.



3. It was great to finally see a book written on Tarzan collectibles, but this one falls short. While many fine older collectibles are shown from the collections of Michael Conran and George McWhorter, it would appear that the author had very little in his own collection, and seemed to "pad" the book with pages of common collectibles. There are tons of vintage items that could have been shown that were sacrificied to show multiple pages of new trading cards, new paperbacks & new comic books. Still a nice book for a collection, though.

   Schiffer produced a book on Oz memorabilia a few years ago, which was written by three major Oz collectors. Because the collectors knew their stuff, it turned out to be a fantastic reference book - very hard to top. Schiffer should have followed this same formula and consulted more long-time collectors to write a book on Tarzan collectibles.

1. You will find any book written by Stephen Datz to be an important and enjoyable addition to your philatelic library. I have well thumbed 1986, 1996/97, and 2000 editions of his Errors Catalogue in my stamp room. Any edition of this Catalogue will provide a wealth of information to help you identify, value, and understand the production processes that create Errors, Freaks, and Oddities on United States stamps.

   Datz's 2000 Catalogue of Errors is will organized and full of data about Imperforate and Color Omitted Errors such as printer, date of issue, production process, and current value. Datz also provides an estimate of the quantities known for each error (something you will not find in a Scott Catalogue). The introduction and final chapter alone are worth the cost of the book because they provide a comprehensive overview of imperfs, color errors, misperfs, foldovers, miscuts, color shifts, gutter pairs and gutter snips, open creases, inking errors, ablinos, and other EFOs.

   I only give 4 stars to the 2000 Catalogue of Errors because it does not cross reference Datz's numbering system to Scott Catalogue numbers. The Scott numbering system is Copyright by Amos Philatelics, Inc. dba Scott Publishing Co. Datz's 2000 Catalogue of Errors is published by Krause Publications, which publishes the rival Krause - Minkus Standard Catalogue of U.S. Stamps. Apparently Datz could not get Scott's permission to use their numbering system when he switched publishers. (The 1996/97 edition was published by Sanabria.) For this reason, I recommend that you supplement your purchase of the 2000 Catalogue with the purchase of an earlier edition through Amazon's Auctions or zShops. I penciled Scott numbers into used my 2000 edition using my 1996/97 edition as a cross-reference. I then used my 2000 Scott Catalogue to bring the balance of the Datz listings up-to-date.
