Pretty cool

Its is a cool book for the collector and a definate buy for anyone looking to get a book for a Kitty fan( which is what I was doing), but I couldnt help think it was a missed opportunity to offer a more indepth catalogue of info and rarities. Still, I am sure it will encourage a few more ebay wish lists!

Cute! not entire collection cataloged but still good buy

As previous reviewers stated, this book does not have "everything" that's ever been Hello Kittied but still it's okay and a nice coffee table piece. My guests always reach for it when they wait for me on my couch and they enjoy looking at the cute pictures and are surprised to learn all the paraphenilia created by Sanrio. So it's quite entertaining and my friends and I have looked through it more than once even though we are not hardcore HK devotees. I did learn something about Hello Kitty's origins in the first few pages and the names of her friends so it's not a total loss. The items in the book need more organization - some are arbitrarily placed and there's no real sense of chronology in terms of dates (the years of the items emergence are all mixed up). The pages are nicely laid out but it did leave a feeling of wanting to see "more" from the collection because there are things I own that are HK that are not in the book. They can't include everything so maybe the name should be changed to "Hello Kitty Hello Something" lol. Nevertheless, it's really cute and eye catching and entertaining for guests (mostly female) and I'm happy to own it.

hello kitty, hello (not quite) everything

While i would love to see an all-encompassing book detailing *everything* in the evolution of kitty, this isn't a bad place to start. It's really more of a novelty book, but I for one, was surprised to learn that there's even a dang HK vespa! and now i can not rest until it's mine.The pages are laid out very clearly, and the uh..."necessities" are well organized. I would recommend this book if you can get a slight break on the price.

A must have for an Hello Kitty Collector

Although the book does not have every Hello Kitty item to date (and I would love love love to see THAT book come out), it has a very good selection of items ranging over the years, that Hello Kitty collectors (like myself) like to see. Anything from the laundry machine to the waffle iron to the car, you can find it in here. Even the Hello Kitty golf clubs and Hello Kitty GameBoy! If anything, it's a really cute book to have. The layout is adorable, and it's Hello Kitty! That should be enough within itself.

Yummy, Pointless, Info

As an adoring Hello Kitty fan, I loved it. While there isn't much to read, the pictures say so much. After looking at Kitty's rich history and girly philosophy you really get a sense of who she is and why the world adores her.If you are a Kitty collector too, you're sure to see a thousand things the average collector can only dream of.
