Purchased as a Christmas present for my mother, who collects Precious Moments, this book thrilled her to no end. There have been no major price guide publication devoted to Precious Moments in the last few years, and this fills the bill nicely.The book has large photographic illustrations, and several ways to search for your particular piece. As great as this book is, remember, it is pocket size. If you want a great portable "Field Guide", this Warman's Precious Moments Feild Guide is the one for you.
How much you will like this book depends on what you plan to use it for. I think this might be useful to carry with you while out shopping to get a ballpark idea of what a figure is worth- it is smaller in size (but quite thick) so relatively portable.I bought it to use to help with insurance valuation and it was ok, but not great, for that purpose. Problems I had: small print which is light color is hard to read, not all figures are included, the title listed in the book did not always correspond with the title printed on the figure, not all figures are pictured.I would have liked the book better if it had more complete information: what years the figure was produced, introduction price, pictures of every figure, etc.
This book was a big disappointment. I wanted to update from my 2006 Official Precious Moments Price guide. I chose this version hoping to have the same quality information. It does not have the detail product background information on dates issued, retired, suspended, etc. It also just gives a ballpark on value and doesn't break it down into the year mark details that the official price guide gives. I will still be using my old price guide over this one. If you need to pick between this one and the official price guide, go with the official price guide.
VERY INFORMATIVE, GREAT PICTURES, HAD EVERYTHING i'VE EVER SEEN & WANTED. i'D BUY THIS BOOK AGAIN IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE ONE I HAVE. I BOUGHT IT FROM & IT WAS VERY REASONABLY PRICED.
This little book covers a lot of ground and I find the information it contains extremely helpful. The only thingthat could be done to improve it is update it!!!Roseann
The book has helped me find most of the precious moments figures. I have some of the David and Jonathan pieces from 1977 were not listed.
It seems to be what I am looking for, although, at this point in time I have not taken the time to get into it as I hope to.
I was looking for the Original Guide to Precious Moments. This was all I could find. So I tried it. Not much good.
