[David Price · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been buying these since about volume 5 or 6 over the decades and this is still the most consistently accurate and useful tool for comics collectors. Great resource for prices obviously but also for key details in multiple print run titles, variant cover books, key character appearances and much more. Always a great snapshot of current trends and articles about books with-in specific eras. This book also gets heavier and heavier each year making it unpleasant to use for long periods of time which is exacerbated by incredibly small text. Format changes are going to be inevitable in future volumes as the text simply can not get any smaller and still make the book practical to use. Or the dimensions will have to increase at width and height, which would make the book easier to balance in an open position as it tends to want to flop closed with it's thickness and weight. Reduction in advertisements could provide additional space as well providing a service to readers rather than the authors bottom line. In pre-internet days these ads were fun and made sense in their inclusion but seem entirely unprofessional in the twenty-first century for a book with the quality credentials for decades of research. Still an indispensable resource to the collector. I anxiously await these improvements to rate this book five stars in a future edition.
