  The value in a guide like this is that it be kept up-to-date annually. This book was published almost three years ago, and the market for collectibles has changed rapidly. Unless you can find a publishing date later than 1996, save your money, and check it out at a local library. The information contained in the book is good as far a descriptors and nuances that will make a piece more valuable. Unfortunately, it does need a major overhaul.

  The book is ecxellent when it comes to pure facts about the figurines but when it comes to prices a lot of the pieces is actually down as of today in the allover collectors market(good for sellers, bad for the inexpirienced buyer)

  This book is extremely valuable to the WDCC collector, espically if you are a beginning collector. It gives you the issue price for a scuplture and the secondary market price so you can make an informed decision on how much to pay for a sculpture. I refer to this book constantly when making a decision on a purchase, especially if the asking price is more than the issue price.

  It also explains the different backstamps, anniversary marks and production marks which can affect the secondary market price.

  The only problem I have with this book, is that it was printed in 1996. Many new scuptures have been added and many older ones have now been retired. It would be nice to have an updated version with the newer sculptures added and the current secondary market prices updated for the retired scuptures.

  All in all I highly recommend it to the WDCC collector or anyone interested in becoming one.

  What a wonderful book, how could you not love it- if you are a Disney fan then just buy it - you won’t regret it!! All those pull out items are just great. You wouldn’t find them anywhere else- ok ther’re not original but at least you can see and touch them!!
