Helpful Organization
This book is very handy and helps organize my beanie collection. Now I'm waiting for more supplements for the new beanies and teenie beanies. Can't wait to get them into my binder.

Loved the book. Pictures are beautiful.
Very easy to organize my beanies. Now we need the updates for the recently retired beanies and thenew beanies that just came out.

Great book

not the best
this book is not good at all.it only contains info about 1999 beanie babies. dont waste your money on this book. you can look up an online price guide on the computer and find the value of your beanies.

Incomplete
This book is nicely done, and has excellent photographs of Beanie Babies. The book is for Winter of 1999. It lacks many of the current Beanie Babies that are on sale now and is outdated. If you need to be kept current thisis not the book to use. The current monthly magazines are the best buy foryour money.

Wrong year.
The cover says Winter 1999 Edition, but the book is 1998 information.It has 40 beanie babies that were listed in the Summer 1999 edition missing, and it only lists the first 9 Beanie Buddies instead of 28.I feel Ireally got cheated. ... Read more

Wonderful Resource for Ty Bears!
This book is an excellent source of information on Ty plush animals!It is a valuable addition to any collector!I got this for my mother, she collects Ty Bears, and she didn' realize how many were actually out there. Excellent book, very well put together!

A must for the Ty plush collector!
We Ty plush collectors have been waiting for this book. This guide contains pictures and information on Ty plush that I had never ever heard of! The pictures are very well done, very clear. It also has information onAttics and Beanies, but it's the plush section that really makes it unique.

This is an excellent guide to Ty Plush and Attic Treasures!
This guide gives you an in depth look at pictures and prices for the collectibles you have!Helps you to identify those pieces who may not have tags and assess their value.A MUST have for the Ty Plush collector! ... Read more

a disappointment... i expected more
I was excited to find a collectors checklist for ponies but a little disapointed when it finally arrived in the mail. There are absolutely NO pictures, sketches, etc of any ponies whatsoever. The checklists seem a little incomplete and there isn't much of a description of each category listed.
Must have book if you are serious about MLPs
An excellent book for me - an enthusiastic but amateur collector - helps put all the collection into excellent order. Book is great - certainly pictures or even line drawings of items (combs etc.) would be even more wonderful! Highly recommed this book to all MLP collectors!

This book was an awesome idea if you collect MLP!
My mom has been collecting ponies since she was a kid and recently I decided to start too (though I only have, like, 20 lol). My dad picked up this book for mom for her b-day because he figured this way she could get her want list together and we would know what to get her for Christmas this year. This book was such an awesome idea! Mom and I just spent yesterday going through all her ponies and checking them off in the book. We could even check off the barrettes, ribbons and brushes and stuff in the book too which is cool because mom has each pony with their accessories tied to their leg in a little bag. It was actually really fun because it was like a treasure hunt and we figured out that some of the ones she has are worth alot because the author has little Collector's Value Alerts in the book for certain ponies which is really cool . My mom also discovered that she had some rare variations which made the whole process exciting. The cool part, though is that now all dad and I need to do is breeze through her copy and see what ponies aren't checked off and just get her those for presents and stuff. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has a big MLP collection like my mom does because it's the most helpful thing we ever had to help her organize her collection (prior to getting this book, she could never figure out what ponies were on her want list). I actually came onto amazon today because I am going to order a second copy for myself. Even though my collection is small, I want to start getting it organized too and it makes collecting more fun when you know how many pieces are left! ... Read more

Great BOOK
I was impressed with the accuracy and the way that it gave such great information, this is a must for all Beanie enthusiasts like myself, and I must agree Ryan is soooo cute.....xoxox

I Love You Ryan
I liked the book, but most of all I liked Ryan, the co-author of The Beanie Encyclopedia.I got a chance to meet him at a book signing while I was on vacation in Florida.He looks so cute in person. I LOVE YOU RYAN

AWESOME BOOK

Binder owner with Questions
I just recently dusted off my binder and tried to go to the website listed on the back. No site found. I searched for the binder on Amazon and found that the updates have been disc. I'm so disappointed because I thought it was best one offered for collectors. FYI, the last binder published was a Final Millennial Edition that includes a 12/31/99 Retired section. The one I have is signed by Peg, also. If anyone knows why the updates never happened, please respond.

Refills
I really love the book, but I can not find the refills for the notebook.Do you have an idea where I can find these.

My Beanie Baby Binder
I love my book but updates have stopped. I wish updates could be started again. I would recommend that the available books be purchased. The last update was Summer of 1999.I am having trouble finding updates. If any one knows how to get up dates, please e-mail me. ... Read more

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!

This is copyright 1997? I dont believe it almost!
Well,I seriously disagree with the people saying that "This book ismore for serious collectors than kids". I am just 9 years old and thisbook is so clear and detailed! It is so much better than 1997 Beanie Babyhandbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BB handbook '97 only shows theBeanies they have, and not good pictures either. Beanie Mania has perfectopictures and they mention all early and a little late 1997 Beanies. And I'mhappy they don't say "Put those Beanies in Ziploc bags" TY madeBeanies for kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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! ... Read more

really informative!
I just got started collecting, and this book has given me all the background information on what to expect.It's impossible for any book to keep up to date with the actual Beanies, but you won't find a better guideto the hobby itself.

The definitive book for collectors.
Some many books on BBs are simply price lists or have a very limited period of usefulness.This one is different and will be my reference of choice.There is no way to predict what Ty will do, but this is the bookthat can track what has happened to date.The section on spottingcounterfeits is invaluable and has saved me from making a couple of costlymistakes.I also got some chuckles from the creatively posed beanies inthe nice color photos.Right after reading my own copy, I immediately senta copy to my beanie-crazed young nieces.

Nice Try
This book is a good attempt at being different from all of the other Beanie Baby books and guides.However, it is not that easy to read because the authors grouped the Beanies according to genre, not alphabetically. Black and white pictures were not all that useful.Some backgroundinformation (but not a lot) sets this book apart from the rest of the pack. However, it makes little attempt at saying what makes a particular beaniebaby popular or unpopular or with whom.A good guide to starting out inthe hobby but not useful if you are already immersed. ...

Brings back horribly painful memories
I blew every last penny of my life-savings on this godforsaken fad.To add insult upon injury, I bought this book hoping it would rescue me from my lonely world of debt and failed marriages.Boy, was I wrong.Had I known that the Beanie Babies were destined to travel the same road as the Pet Rock and Crystal Pepsi, perhaps I would have reconsidered these careless financial decisions. If Ty is really suing he should back off
This ia a great idea and I view it as a different product entirely from BBs, which are stuffed toys. If Ty is suing, I wish he would back off.

Very Disappointed
I am very disappointed in this manuel. It was a manuel on the old generation furbies, not the 2005 models. I was directed to get this manuel to help trained my new high tech furbies. Well 3 weeks after I ordered the book (paid overnight) I looked at it and realized I had been ripped off. The only good thing was I do have first generation furbies that I can train alittle more.

This a great introductory manual for your Furby.
I bought my Furby from a second hand store, and I had no idea what my Furby was talking about most of the time.I bought this book, and it explained everything about Furbys from what the Furbish words meant to instructions to play all of the Furby games from Hide and Seek to using your Furby as a fortuneteller (for fun "yes/no" questions).It even includes tricks that kids (and adults!) will love, like how to make your Furby burp eight times in a row or get a case of hiccups.Also included where photos of other Furbys available, Furby accessories, and Furby history.It contains a lot of information within a short number of pages.I am not sure what, if any, imformation comes with the Furby in the original package, but for me (having no instructions) this was a fantastic book that has led me to have a great time with my Furby, Delola!
