My sons played with Fisher Price toys growing up and we packed them away for their kids. We got the toys out last year and after seeing them, I realized how great they were! I wanted to buy some more vintage Fisher Price. I could not find much at antique malls, so I went on eBay and saw hundreds of toys. I needed a reference book so I could learn about all of the different kinds of vintage Fisher Price toys made and I found the 3rd Edition of Fisher Price-Historical, Rarity, and Value Guide, 1931-Present on eBay. I really like the book and it has been very helpful. It was published in 2002, but that is ok because I am only interested in vintage Fisher Price toys. The only small problem I had is that if you do not know the year the toy was made, you have to page through the years until you found it. The book is well worth it though and I have enjoyed it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
THIS BOOK NOT ONLY RELATES THE VALUE OF MANY MEMORABLE FISHER-PRICE TOYS; BUT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO REMEMBER THE TOYS OF MY "BABY BOOMER" CHILDHOOD; AND I NOW HAVE PASSED THEM ALONG TO MY DAUGHTER WHO IS OF THE "X GENERATION", AND SHE NOW HAS A DAUGHTER, 3 YEARS OLD, AND OF COURSE, SHE IS NOT ONLY GETTING HER NEW FISHER-PRICE TOYS, BUT ALSO GOING ON E-BAY AND GETTING MANY NOSTALGIC AND RETRO TOY ITEMS. THIS MAKES IT A WONDERFUL FAMILY WAY TO REMEMBER THE TOYS WE USED TO HAVE AND SHARE THEM WITH THE OTHER GENERATIONS OF OUR FAMILY. THE INFORMATION AND PICTURES IN THIS BOOK ARE GREAT AND CAUSE YOU TO ALMOST REACH OUT AND TOUCH YOUR PAST; I COULD ALMOST HEAR THE CHUG-CHUG OF MY WOODEN CHOO-CHOO TRAIN, OR THE SOUNDS FROM MY DAUGHTER'S PLAY FARM AND THE RING-RING FROM MY GRANDAUGHTERS PULL PHONE! SO, IF YOU LIKE TO BE NOSTALGIC AND SHARE MEMORIES OF YOUR OR YOUR FAMILIES CHILDHOOD TOYS, THIS IS THE BOOK !!OMMEND.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Great pictures and historical information found in this publication, which lists items chronologically by year released. Nice price guide in the back, but since it's publication in 2002 one must multiply the prices by 1.5 to 2 times the listed price to arrive at a more realistic price for 2012. Overall, it is a nice book. I would give it 5 stars, but the price guide was off concerning a few items. Combined with ebay research, however, makes this book beneficial. Thumbs up.
Very informative book with many colorful pictures
