Great Book!

10 th Edition Hummel guide

Excellent guide and most helpful as a reference tool. Color pictures provided are much better than the previous editions which were in black and white accurate descriptions with rare variations are an invaluable tool in accessing values of the figurines. Olszewski miniatures are also included A great value

Hummel Guide Book

Excellent guide book now with its 10th edition in color. Photos are large and clear with short histories of each Hummel displayed; the Hummels are listed in numerical order. There is also an index in alphabetical order giving the Hummel's correct mold number that a person can refer to as well. Hummel Club pieces are listed towards the back of the book and interspersed with the regular Hummels according to their mold numbers. A terrific book for anyone who collects anything be it Hummel figurines, bells or plates.

Excellent for Amateurs

Even though it's proclaimed by expert collectors as the absolute source of information about Hummel figurines, Robert Miller's reference work is easy for amateurs as well. He provides insightful guidance in determining value and quality as well as interesting tidbits about production and variations in the figurines. His work is referenced by many sellers in internet auctions, but is also helpful in figuring out just what you already have. As a rank beginner, I had no problem in following his material and ascertaining the value of an inherited collection. It was also useful in helping me determine additions that I wanted to make to the collection.

An Excellent resource for the Hummel Collector

This book features in depth descriptions and pricing of nearly every Hummel every made. A must have for the serious Hummel collector. It is an invaluable resource for identifying your Hummel
