1. The small size of this book makes it perfect as a take along guide when you hit the conventions, flea markets and toy shows. My copy is all bent and folded, since I love to take it out and prove those lousy scalpers and ripoff dealers wrong. When they try to tell me that the car they have for sale is so "rare" and hard to find, that I should give them my right arm for the HotWheel. I pull out this book, and show them the TRUTH! The look on the idiots faces is worth 100 times the price of this book! I can hardly wait for the next edition, which is due to be printed any day now. Thanks for being a true collector Bob.



2. Perhaps the typos should have warned me...This book is a decent primer for those who know little about Hot Wheels. But if you are an avid collector looking for reliable pricing, this is not the book for you. The photos are great, but the book falls short of being comprehensive.



3. THIS BOOK IS OFF ON PRICE VALUES AND VERY INCOPLETE ON EACH VARIATION NOT A GOOD GUIDE AT ALL I WISH I DIDN'T BUY IT

1. This is a great book that is packed with information. It is great because I have read it three times and everytime I learn something new. This book is really helpful because I started a 4-H club for model horses and it is a great source of information for a club of basically new collectors. Sure, the prices are really low but I can figure out how much a horse is worth by comparing prices in the book. Anyways, a horse isn't worth how much a book says, but how much someone is willing to pay for the horse.



2. I found this book very helpful for identifying models that are not so common, and also to bring me up to speed on all the new models since I have been out of the hobby for nearly seven years. Her information was well reseaeched, and she did a lot of indepth interviews with Breyer executives and sculptors to get as much info as possible. I did find her values to be a bit on the low side for what models are typically selling for nowdays. But all in all, for the information alone, it's a really valuable book!



3. I cannot over stress how GREAT this book is. It has pictures of nearly every model Breyer has ever made (enjoy the wedgewood Fury, pink and blue elephants, and Emporers Gold Bar, a SR SM with a unique base). This is the most complete, accurate and informative book available. It is seperated into two sections for ease of use: pictures, and text info. The values are pretty close to what Breyers SELL for (most of the SM's I buy are $1-2), with exceptions. Some say the high end prices are a bit low, but they are right in line with what I pay. Overall this book can't be beat, to the serious collector or antique dealer, anyone can use and enjoy this book.



4. This book is very informative and explains how Breyer got started and the take over of Reeves International.The estimated values of all animals are listed. This book is a must for serious and beginning collectors and admirers' of Breyer horses & animals.



5. Good points: Well written with lots of good humor thrown in, most specimens beautifully photographed, great informational appendix! Also most values are just about right. I wish some antique dealers would take a look at this book! I'm still finding way too many overpriced Breyers(i.e. Hereford Bull for $69 that's still available RETAIL at half that!) Wake up antique dealers! Just becuz it's a Breyer doesn't mean it's worth megabucks! Bad points- some values are TOO low(like on the decorators) some photographs were too dark, many specimens not pictured that are sure to have SOME reference pix out there if the author had raken the time to look. Happily this is a minor problem! Eagerly anticipating the next edition!

1. Now in an updated second edition, Not Just A Pretty Face: Dolls And Human Figurines In Alaska Native Cultures is a striking showcase of dolls and dollmaking, exploring their role in the lives of native Alaskans from ancient ivory carvings to the modern tourist market. Filled with color photographs, Not Just A Pretty Face is both an artistic and anthropological showcase. The text surveys the history of dolls and dollmaking, and includes interviews with dollmakers as well as speculations upon the future of native arts. A lay reader-friendly showcase for anthropology shelves, Native American studies shelves, and doll collector shelves alike.
