Summary: From vanity sets to Avon awards and trinkets
Review: Avon Collector's Encyclopedia, 16th Edition is the official Avon collector's price guide, and its latest edition has been revamped cover to cover to present over 200 categories of products. From vanity sets to Avon awards and trinkets, this is filled with black and white photos of items and their latest price information.

Summary: Very Disappointed!!
Review: I bought this book for several different reasons but mainly for Avon beer steins...most of which my husband has...and didn't get enough information from this book to really be able to price even one out of all that he has...My husband and I both agree that this book is short on information, details, and inventory. Really wish that I had not bought the book.

Summary: The best resource for Avon Collectors
Review: I continue to be amazed at the quality and value of Bud Hastin's Avon Collector's Encyclopedia. I now own the last 3 editions - and this is the best. Simply a must if you ever need to identify or find the value of an Avon Collectible.

Summary: Okay, but . . .
Review: I have collected Avon for over 25 years. Until this summer, I have relied on a 1985 collector guide from another publisher, who no longer publishes them. Since "Bud's" was the most recommended, I gave it a try. Call me spoiled by my old all-color price guide, but the black and white photos make searching time-consuming. The items are grouped with no rhyme and reason--wouldn't you put the bride decanter on the same page as the groom? Typos and misspellings can be found on almost every page. The page numbers in the index are off. This book seems to be just one big ad for Bud's dirty joke book,(order form in the back).

Summary: Bid Hastin Avon Collectors Encyclopedia
Review: I was under the impression that the book had more of a variety of "collectibles" than shown. I have several items from the 60's to the late 80's that I could not find. The collectible I was most interested in finding was a set of 4 Birds from 1986. All 4 are stamped except one--the owl--does not have the year on the base.

Summary: THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER
Review: Mr. Hastin has been quite thorough with his "Collector'sEncyclopedia". In addition to countless photos and detailed descriptions, Current Market Values for all collectible Avon (both Mint In Box and Bottle Only Current Market Values for many) are provided. In addition to the oldest Avon collectibles, newer items issued especially for Avon by Cherished Teddies, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Sesame Street, Disney, Warner Brothers, etc. are included. As website coordinator for the Avon Collecor's Lost & Found...I utilize and recommend this this guide on a daily basis. END

Summary: Bud Hastin's 16th Ed Avon Collector's Encyclopedia
Review: This book proved very helpful to me, but, there were some Avon items I have that I believe should have been in the book (alongside similar items), but, were not. I would suggest people buy this book if they have Avon items, but, remember that the book is not inclusive.

Summary: Good Book, But Where's The Color?
Review: This is a great book for collectors of AVON and Cape Cod Products. Recently used it to price a few items for sell on eBay.com. Only thing that would make the book better is if it where to contain color photos, rther than the black and white ones.
