A Must Have Book!

This is a complete update guide for the Breyer horse collector. Wonderfully illustrated with good clear photos of all makes and sizes of Breyers easy to read and informative. Includes rare and older hard to find Breyers along with newly released horses.Maybe used as a insurance guide or basis for determining values for realistic retail. If your going to collect Breyer Horse you must own this book.I suggest you buy this before you start collecting so you don't end up over paying for your purchases.

Great Book!

This book is a real find, especially for a avid Breyer enthusiast like myself. I collect these models and this book is extremely helpful, especially when looking for prices on my vintage models. You should carry the updates version, such as the 1999 Big Blue Book of Breyer Values.

Great!

This book is great for any Breyer collector. It has tons of color photos of almost all the models up to 1997. It also contains helpful and interesting info at the front.

A wise choice for acetate equine aficionados...

Are you a model horse nut? An acetate equine aficionado? Or just discovered a box o' Breyers in the attic and don't know what you have? Whether you're a model horse pro or just getting started, here's a wise choice for your library. Encyclopedic, it's not -- easy and fun to use, it is. Combining the usability of a quick-reference guide with the thoroughness of a catalog, Felicia Browell has created a great tool for collectors of these beautiful model horses and animals. It's a convenient size with intuitive layout, allowing you to locate a model quickly. Color photos eliminate confusion over marking and coloring variations. Price guidelines are sound. Browell also provides helpful cross-reference lists based on model number, name, even year. With book in hand, bid with confidence on those Internet auction pages! If you want a practical Breyer reference that's complete but doesn't require a trailer hitch, put your money on this one. H. R. Hastings -- Dallas, Texas

A must for Breyer Collectors and Sellers!

Ever wonder what that plastic model horse with the Breyer logo on your shelf is and what it is worth? Here is a full color reference and value guide in a hobby that desperately needed one. Sure, Nancy Young's Breyer Bible is more complete and detailed, but it is pushing $50 and HEAVY while this one is portable easy to read and cross indexed. Includes models made up to 1996 and includes text only descriptions and values for 1997 models. Better than the last edition. And all those antique and flea market folks who think everything Breyer means everything over $40, think again--there is a very inportant page on how to ACCURATELY price Breyers in the secondary market. And buyers--please read it to know what is a fair price to pay, and what is truly ridiculous. Includes photos of rare test colors, Breyerfest Judges and raffle models and Breyer Other Animals (they do more than horses). Even if you find out your plastic pony is only worth less for what you paid for it, don't fret--as long as you like it, and enjoy it it is priceless. That's why most of us collect 'em!
