Beanie Mania: A Comprehensive Collector's Guide

Well,I seriously disagree with the people saying that "This book is more for serious collectors than kids". I am just 9 years old and this book is so clear and detailed! It is so much better than 1997 Beanie Baby handbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BB handbook '97 only shows the Beanies they have, and not good pictures either. Beanie Mania has perfecto pictures and they mention all early and a little late 1997 Beanies. And I'm happy they don't say "Put those Beanies in Ziploc bags" TY made Beanies for kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first BB book I ever purchased. It is chock full of color pictures and info and facts about each beanie.It has- chronology, tag history, collectible ranking, market trend analysis, information guides, oddities and charts for the reader to fill in with their own beanie info. Anyone who purchases this book will refer to is over and over. Both Beckys need to create an updated book with the l998 info. This would definately be well received by all the readers who purchased the first Beanie Mania Guide. Enjoy!

The most serious book on Ty's Beanies thus far. Truly comprehensive, informative and enjoyable reading. A through guide to swing and tush tags; an excellent reference guide. I loved the pictures of Ty's prototypes and production errors! I had hesitated to buy yet another book on Beanies; after purchasing Beanie Mania I wished I had purchased it sooner. I have referred back to it on many occasions. Another plus: it's pages are filled with information! NOT kids drawings,games and letters on why they love Beanies! (Bless their little hearts!).Although it does not have the newer releases, the serious collector should add this book to their library!

This is the book to buy if you want to become a Beanie expert. Elaborate descriptions and photographs of all tag types and Beanie variations. Terrific history. This book is the only one that comprehensively covers the hobby.

The first time I saw this book was in three different magazines. I love it. It has all the information you'll ever need to be a beanie collector. I have four beanie books, and this is the best one. It gives people a better look at what their buying. I recomand this book to everyone. I can't put it down. I have read it for three days and I have two more pages and I'm done with it. I encourage the authors of this book to write another one next year.
