This is a review of, perhaps, the second edition. My original review, I gave this five stars, but since the information is now so out of date, I knocked a star off. Still, a good read for Breyer collectors. Before we had eBay, we collectors only had books to help us out. This review originally appeared on Amazon.com on October 15, 1997:

A Must for Breyer Collectors and Sellers

Ever wonder what that plastic model horse with the Breyer logo on your shelf is and what it is worth? Here is a full color reference and value guide in a hobby that desperately needed one. Sure, Nancy Young's Breyer Bible is more complete and detailed, but it is pushing $50 and HEAVY while this one is portable and easy to read and cross indexed. Includes models made up to 1996 and includes text only descriptions and values for 1997 models. Better than the last edition. And all those antique and flea market who think everything Breyer means everything over $40, think again -- there is a very important page on how to ACCURATELY price Breyers in the secondary market. And buyers -- please read it to know what is a fair price to pay, and what is truly ridiculous. Includes photos of rare test colors, Breyerfest Judges and raffle models and Breyer Other Animals (they do more than horses.) Even if you find out your plastic pony is only worth less than what you paid for it, don't fret -- as long as you like it, and enjoy it, it is priceless. That's why most of us collect 'em!

I've had this book since I was a child. I've always loved looking at the pictures and wishing for an endless budget. I still love flipping through the pages and longing for every horse.
