Beginner Barbie Collector- Excellent Book! .......2007-09-05
I mainly purchased this book to remember some of my childhood toys- I wasn't expecting the detail and page after page of pictures that made me interested in collecting Barbie's as well-
This thick hardcover book has colored photos of each Barbie both in the box and then a close up of the face. The Barbies are presented in chronological order by year by doll type- so i.e. Barbie from 1950s til 90s then Skipper from 50s-90s, then Ken, etc.
The book also has friends of the infamous Barbie and Ken couple; many of which I have never seen or heard of!
If you are looking for a nice photo array and price guide of Barbie and Friends. Truly the "Ultimate" Barbie book.
Ultimate identification guide.......2007-08-08
This is the best Barbie identification book out there. It's useful to identify those thrift store and garage sale dolls and their outfits. Each item is also described with identifying marks, etc. I have owned this book since it came out and it's the one I go back to the most, for complete Barbie information.
This is a Beautiful Barbie Doll Book.......2007-07-11
I love my new Ultimate Barbie Doll Book. I still have my first Barbie Dolls from the early 60's along with Ken, Midge & Skipper. I have over 100 dolls and found them all in this wonderful book. The photos are beautiful. The Barbie novice to enthusiast will truly enjoy this book.
The Ultimate Barbie Doll Book.......2007-01-13
If you're looking for help in identifying your Barbie doll and friends then this book is for you. I collect old barbies and I have found this book to be most helpful.
Fantastic!.......2007-01-10
All models in just one big book! Buy it now! If you like barbies this is the best one!
Book Description
The exquisite and everyday beautiful linens and lace photographed for this book represent collectible household styles made in Europe and North America during the 20th century. Both rare and commonly found examples are included so that readers can learn to differentiate between the two groups. The chapters are organized by types of work, including Appenzell, Battenberg, Bobbin lace, chemical and other machine laces, crochet, cutwork, embroidery, linen damask, explained with origins and copies liberally discussed. The photographs are breathtaking, from over-all room settings to minute details. This is a visually exciting book. The price guide is a valuable tool for this expanding field of collectibles which seem to be undervalued when the quality and supply of fine examples are considered.
Customer Reviews:
Very helpful and informative reference book........2000-07-16
I found this book to be extremely helpful in identifying popular linen styles and items for a collector. The pictures were clear and the descriptions sufficient for my needs. This is a good addition to a collector's library.
Musings from thelinenlady on '20th Century Lace and Linens'.......2000-03-24
As a long time linen lover and now professional dealer I find this tombe to be a wonderful 'picture' book ~ but when it comes to actual informative content I feel that there are better sources ~ the information given is helpfull for the beginning to intermediate collector and the pictures are exquisite but somehow the lack of detail in the narrative portions undermines the supossed purpose of the book. To its credit the book is nicely arranged by subject but lacks a comprehensive glossary. Overall, not a bad place to start whet your appetite for knowledge about vintage linens, but if you want detailed informtion supported by anyting more than cursory research you will put the book down hungry. ~ Sincerly, Ann Christine ~ thelinenlady
Lace collectors will find this beautiful and enjoying!.......1998-04-03
Faboulous color photos from Appenzell to Tatting, and How to maintain a collection. I highly recommend this book if you love lace!
Book Description
Projectile points of American Indians have long been objects of interest to students and historians. This book has hundreds of photos, information about geographic origin, methods of production, sizes, and a special section on detecting fakes. 2002 values. AUTHORBIO: Lar Hothem is a well-known expert in the field of Indian arrowheads and artifacts. His popular series, Indian Artifacts of the Midwest series has now added its fifth volume. His other titles include Indian Axes Related Stone Artifacts, Indian Pipes, Arrowheads Projectile Points, and Indian Trade Relics. REVIEW: This book, by noted Indian artifact authority Lar Hothem, presents a wide spectrum of arrowheads and projectile points, some worth $5.00, some worth hundreds. But the points presented are those the collector is likely to encounter, not the rare, hard-to-find museum pieces that most people never see. Descriptions, lengths, areas found, and current values are given for all items pictured.
Customer Reviews:
Good value for the price.......2007-06-27
Mr. Hothem puts together a book that is easy reading but I wish it had a section which showed exactly what characteristics designates certain points from each other (with a diagram). Otherwise, I found the book to be a nice companion book to other arrowhead books I have.
Essential reading to identify and know arrowheads........2000-09-12
This 223 page's book is an excellent introduction to the world of prehistoric amerindian projectile points and arrowheads. In some very nice photos and inscriptions you could find the "keys" to what you collect, their relative prices, regional classification and chipping techniques. A simple and practical relation describes the U.S. materials used to make arrowheads and blades including all the regional types, edges, shapes, individual characteristics of each piece and instructions to take care with them. Indispensable to begginers and advanced collectors this book certainly attempt the amateur archaeologist's expectation.
Average customer rating:
- Delighful, comprehensive and an excellent resource.

Book Description
Many new color photographs showcasing thousands of machine-made and contemporary marbles have been added to make this book an even bigger Big Book of Marbles. This third edition brings marble collectors even more information, with added discussion on marbles at auctions, art glass and new comics, and listings of marble clubs. Grist has also drawn from one of his other books, Machine-Made Contemporary Marbles, for this new edition. Now with almost 400 large, detailed full-color photographs, this book is the essential resource for the marble collector. Fifty new shots have been added to the 400 detailed color photographs, and over 1,000 marbles produced by West Virginia companies have been identified for this new edition. The author enlisted the help of knowledgeable historian Ron Shepherd, co-founder and past president of the West Virginia Marble Collectors Club for this volume.
Customer Reviews:
Marbles.......2007-09-21
Everett Grist's Big Book of Marbles is very comprehensive and extremely well illustrated. It will be a great reference for both hand-made and machine-made marbles. The price estimates given for the illustrations are realistic in my opinion and will be helpful in valuing my collection.
Some nice pictures, but woefully inadequate.......2007-06-17
I decided after attending a national collector-run marble show in my area to get this updated Third Edition of Grist's book, because it looked like it would have enough new pictures to make identifying all those troublesome common marbles a possibility. And the pictures in the book are nice, being clear and color-accurate, and showing multiple marbles so one can see the range of designs/colors that fall within a category. However, I've always considered Grist to be a lazy author, and this just confirms it. Yes, it takes some work to get the pictures of so many marbles, but that is something almost anyone could eventually do. This is sub-titled a 'comprehensive' ID book, so I expected Grist to deliver. He does not even come close to delivering on that promise! First of all, many marbles are left out and many more poorly dealt with. As new as I am to marbles, even I know that there are subtle differences that help one to differentiate between marble companies. Yet Grist has virtually NO TEXT explaining how to ID various types of marbles. It is simply pictures and an occassional comment, and as we all know, pictures of certain marbles, such as cateyes, do not do justice in showing the differences. Those need to be EXPLAINED (how many vanes, shape, etc) because the differences usually do not show well in pictures. None of this happens. Many of the Peltier marbles are simply lumped together as 'Champion Jrs.' with none of the common names used in the trade included. And as far as being a comprehensive value guide, only ranges are given with no differention for size or condition given. That is hardly a comprehensive price guide! On top of that, most prices on common marbles (under $10 each) appear to be grossly inflated over what is actually happening in the marketplace today. I wish I could get those prices for my commons - I'd be rich! The final insult is the poor editing done in the book. "Peltier" is spelled "Pelitier" half the time. There are pictures where the heading states "row 1" when it means "column 1." Just plain sloppy. Most pictures of the rarities have no prices at all and only general category IDs for the entire group shown. In general, a nice picture book but nothing about it is 'comprehensive' - just more false advertising. Why can't anyone put out a book with the quality and extent of pictures Grist does and the helpful, detailed text and variety listings such as Block attempts? Then we would be approaching a 'comprehensive ID and value guide.' So far, I've found nothing close.
Good marble identification book.......2005-08-29
Excellent book for identification of marble types and values, and for general history of marble manufacture and select manufacturers. Grist details characteristics of marbles to identify the manufacturing method and general production dates, but you cannot identify marbles to manufacturer or more specific production dates by this book. Excellent pictures and selection of marbles. Overall, this is a good quality marble book.
Really Great Book on Marbles.......2005-01-06
As a serious marble collector, I think this book is invaluable. It's informative and very well put together. I believe it could also work well for non-marble collectors. Marbles are pretty universally fascinating and this book can inform anyone about the worth and characteristics of marbles.
Second Edition of a Beautiful Volume on Marbles !.......2000-04-08
This second edition is updated for 2,000. 190 pages with hundreds of large, full color, sharp photos. Major topics include: Who Can You Trust?, Manufacturers, Antique and Machine Mades, Rarities, Marble Boxes, Christmas Cards, Clubs, Paper Items, etc, etc. A great reference for marble fans.

Star Wars Super Collector's Wish Book.......2007-08-01
I own the other wish books by G. Carlton. I find them to be really helpful, informative and I love the pictures he has for reference too. Great job! Anyone collecting Star Wars should own a copy of this book.

Another outstanding effort.......2007-06-19
This publication just goes from strength to strength.
A true must for any collector, serious or beginner alike.
Filled with great pictures & loads of information as a resource book you just can't fault this item. Doesn't matter if you collect action figures, cloth badges, books, posters...whatever...this book has the lot.
If you are only going to do yourself one favour this year, make sure you buy yourself a copy of this book.
OUTSTANDING STUFF.
BEST.......2006-03-04
This book had a lot of information I was looking for but not all.
Star Wars - The Return on the Jedi...........2006-02-17
The book is a marvelous resource of information regarding the value of virtually every Star Wars Collectible imaginable. As the author warns, it is a guidline document and so should be treated as suggestion and not absolute in the values listed. As such, it is a tremendous compendium of useful information...with a few errors. As an example, I have an item that appears to have been missed and so its value isn't addressed. There is also an entry error involving an erroneous photographic reference. And in a book this extensive, it's understandable. It is a great reference document and I am glad to have a copy. I recommend it highly!
Book Description
This all-new Book II is produced as a companion volume to Book I and none of the pieces pictured are repeated from the first book. Over 600 all-new beautiful full-color photographs together with a special section on marks and backstamps aid the collector in identifying and dating a collection. Special focus is given to the many styles, different glazes, as well as care and cleaning tips. 2000 values. AUTHORBIO: Carole White is the author of a four-volume series on Made in Japan Ceramics. She also wrote Collector's Guide to Lunchboxes and Glass Ceramic Baskets. REVIEW: This book is one of the first to be written on the subject, and is written by a noted carnival glass author and collector. A history of Imperial begins the book, then patterns and photos appear alphabetically. It is a great resource for carnival glass collectors.

Made in Japan collectibles.......2007-06-14
I collect older (collectible) MADE IN JAPAN items and therefore I have quite a few books on the subject. This book is not complete but quite helpful. Photos are nice.
Many different volumes have been written on this subject. Infact, I own 3 other books on this subject.
When "Made in Japan" collectibles were issued there were sooooo many different items sold, that it would be impossible to include all of them in just one book. The author tried and did a good job though.
A wonderfully thorough reference for the collector..........2000-04-02
Carole Bess White has put together an exhaustive reference work on Japanese ceramics from the early 20th century to today. Her extensive research really pays off in this book, crammed full of photos of all types.
Bess covers everything from ash trays to water sets, candy dishes to salt & pepper sets, Satsuma to souvenir plates. I especially like the many photos of various backstamps (marks) she provides. The book has over 250 pages of photos, and includes catalog pages from current novelty producers. If you're interested in collectible ceramics "Made in Japan", don't hesitate to buy this book!
She did it again!.......2000-03-29
Book #2 is every bit as good as the first one. NO REPEATS !... and new information on the companies that made these delightful pieces. Color photos, marks and all the information you need. Ms. Whites books are getting like potato chips to me.. you can't have just one!
