1: WOW!
This was a great book. Even though the prices were slightly out of date, I highly recommend you buy it! This book is a must for every collector!
|
2: This is copyright 1997? I dont believe it almost!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3: Loved it...you must have it!
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!

4: A "must have" for serious Beanie Baby collectors
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!

5: Excellent book, but missing a few things
This is an awesome book! It is definitely the most colorful and one of the most interesting Beanie Baby books available. Beanie Mania covers several types of older and retired Beanies along with fabulous photos of every version of most of the Beanies. Also included is information on tags, prototypes, and Teenie Beanie Babies. However, especially since the book is almost a year old, it does not talk about or show pictures of newer Beanies. Nevertheless, I definitely recommend it!!!
