Wicked Good Real good book! Lots of INFO

Third Review 3 out of 5 stars

This book is comprehensive but somewhat shallow. This book would be better if it gave recommendations and told how many of each beanie baby were made.

The Beanie Baby Handbook 1998

by Les Fox, Sue Fox

This book will cost you about $5.95 in most stores

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Description

There is one craze that isn't going anywhere is the obsession with Beanie Babies, those cute beanbag animals. With random Beanie Babies being retired every year, who knows what your Bongo the Monkey or Gobbles the Turkey will be worth in a few years?. Les and Sue Fox's The Beanie Baby Handbook is an essential reference guide for Beanie Baby fanatics. Every known Beanie Baby is pictured in full color, with an estimate of its 1998 value and a speculative value for the year 2008. (Although this is only an estimate, who knows if Beanie Babies will hold their value like Microsoft stock does). Also included is some sensible advice for collectors--don't blow your life savings on one Beanie Baby; spend within your means! The Beanie Baby Handbook is jam-packed with essential Beanie tips and topics, and even includes the lyrics to the (unofficial) Beanie Baby song, "I want it! I want it! I want a Beanie Baby!" Sing it loud, folks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wonderful Book I highly recommend this book over any of the value guides its easy to find what you want in this book. I even recommend that people just starting out in their Beanie Babies Collections will like this book as much as I do. Actually if the choice had been given I'd have given this book a 10 star rating.

Second Review 5 out of 5 stars

GREAT PICTURES AND AUTHOR COMMENTS/HINTS! I thought this book was definately worth the money and should be a part of any beanie collectors library.

Third Reveiw Picture: 5 out of 5 stars

Everything the Beanie collector wants to know! This edition of the Beanie Baby Handbook amazes me! It tries to be as up-to-date as possible, which is difficult in the world of Ty. There are separate sections for current, retired, and Teenie Beanie Babies. The book also includes an offer to join the Unofficial Beanie Baby Fan Club, lyrics to Beanie Baby songs, news flashes, etc. Great photos, too! Each Beanie "profile" has the Beanie's photo and also lists its birthday, poem, and miscellaneous information about that Beanie. I definitely recommend this book! :-)

Fourth Review 5 out of 5 stars

A great read with some of the best pictures I loved this book. I find myself reading it over and over again and the pictures look great. I just wish I could find the beanies as easily as I found this book. A reader from canada , 06/11/98 A good book for Beanie Babies! Very nicely illastrated and detailed but could have some more information on the Beanie Babies. I liked it though! A reader from Oklahoma , 06/07/98 too few facts and a lot of generalities, good pictures The book is worth the price for the pictures alone, and it is a pretty good source of dates, but beware the counts and prices. Price is too volatile be accurate long anyway, but these do not appear to reflect the reality of what I am seeing in the marketplace, especially the net. There are certainly better books. Rosie's for one.

Fifth Reveiw 4 out of 5 stars

Great Photography Great pictures of current and retired Beanie Babies, however doesn't list the newly retired Beanie Babies or the newest releases. For the dollar it is a good guide.

Sixth Review 5 out of 5 stars

This book is great for beanie collectors! It tells me the chances of getting my favorite beanie baby and how popular it is and when it will retire! 1
