Collectible View-Master: An Illustrated Reference and Value Guide

Summary: wow....Great book for the price!
Review: At 26.95 when most other view-master books out there cost alot more. It was well worth it. The paper quality and ALL the hundreds of photos both B&W and color are great. Plus the whole book is about view-master not just a little section in the back. If you remember these reels or want to collect them... this is the book for you. I have so many "collecting" books and they give little details and almost no photos. This one offers everything in great detail and pictures to go along with alot of items and updated values. You won't be dissappointed... I certainly wasn't. In fact.. I thought of getting a second one as I have used mine alot and it is quite dogeared. It gets used on a weekly basis and has become a great tool for my collecting habit. I have most of the viewmaster books available and this is the one I wouldn't be without!

Summary: Great book for all levels of collectors
Review: Being a 'newbie' to View-Master collecting this was one of the first books I picked up. It is very informative, well laid out and a terrific reference book. I've been able to classify my collection with ease. A must have!

Review: For those just beginning a viewmaster collection, this can be a handy tool. The only major fault I find with it is that it does not have an index in the back, making it more difficult to locate information about a specific item. But it is less costly than some of the viewmaster books and beginners often don't know the name or model number of a particular viewer or reel anyway, so it's not as big an issue as you might think. The photos are excellent and the authors are quite knowledgeable about viewmaster as a whole. It was worth the money.

Summary: A little thin
Review: I was expecting a much heftier book for the money. Much of the historical information in the book can be found on various websites, however, it is nice to see examples in pictures, and it has an especially nice collection of pictures of viewers. It has disappointingly little information on Viewmaster accessories, such as albums, or camera equipment, so the main focus is on Viewmaster reels and viewers. The price-guide is a useful reference, but not quite worth the overall expense. But then again, many Viewmaster items are overpriced themselves...

Summary: Somewhat Disappointing
Review: I've been collecting view-master items for years but I learned so much from this book. It clearly illustrates almost every detail of view-master collecting. I loved all the photos. Now I know what my collection is really worth. If you collect or are thinking of collecting viewmaster you need this book.
