This is a great little book and it really fills a need; my wife has been collecting Snowbabies figurines for some years now, and as her collection has grown I've often wondered if there were any kind of collector's guide book out there that covers them. I recently was searching on eBay and found this gem of a collector's guide; glancing through it, it really seems to fill the bill. It consists of 272 pages, all printed on glossy paper with full color throughout. It has a chapter for each subcategory of Snowbabies, and each chapter is quite detailed - for each figure it gives the title of the piece and includes a color photo of it; information includes the item number,the year it was introduced & the year it was retired, the original suggested retail price, the average secondary market price, a place to enter the price you paid for the item, & any specific notes about that item. There is also an introduction giving a brief history of Snowbabies, and in the back of the book are two indexes - one lists all Snowbabies in order by item number, and the other lists them in alphabetical order by title. And the last few pages include ads for some retailers who handle Snowbabies around the country - in short this book is everything a collector's guide should be, a complete resource for the serious collector; and well worth the $21.95 retail price. This book will make a great Christmas gift for my wife this year.Read full review
If you collect Snow Babies, which I do. It is nice to keep track as to how much you paid for an item and how much it is worth now. It also has pictures of the items, so if you have done as I have and forgotten which is which...you can refresh your memory. Not to be gruesome, but at the time of your demise, your family will know how much your spent for each item. KEEP THE ORIGINAL BOXES!!
