World of My Little Pony (R): An Unauthorized Guide for Collectors

Rating:
Summary: A Commendable Effort, but Misleading for Collectors.
Review: While Ms. Birge is to be commended on her effort with this book, the volume itself is more detrimental than helpful for collectors. The book covers only US releases, and some of the pictures are lackluster - next time, at least clean the ponies and fix their hair before they're photographed. The price guide is hopelessly inaccurate, and was out of date even when the book was first published. Finally, several ponies are incorrectly named - there was never a pony bride, for example, named "Dum Dum de Dum," but this guide claims that as a Hasbro-given name.

The incorrect information and out of date pricing guide make this guide very misleading, both to collectors and to dealers. Why buy when several collector-owned websites offer more accuracy for free?
