She Ra Identification Book- Worth it? I dont think so

I'm always looking for identification value guides for toys. I own so many Barbie books I could start my own library!

So when I saw the one for She Ra I was super excited. There are so many toys that are from my past that I'd love to be able to look up things that I dont have. So I bought it. I was super disappointed. Everything in this book was information I could have looked up on the internet for free. Im sorry, but if you are going to put a book together, please have more information then the normal person would have access to. I was really looking forward to some rare stuff like maybe some coloring books, or even the beach towel I had, but nothing was in it beyond the generic dolls, outfits and the playsets that were put out.

Needless to say, the book is being returned and I will be doing my own investigation of the She Ra line to add to the book that im working on. And I can promise that I will be putting in more rare and obscure stuff then what was in this book.

Im sorry to the author, if and when she ever reads this. But take note from Sarah Sink Eames, who writes the wonderful Barbie books. You could learn a lot from how a identification book SHOULD be produced.

To those of you looking to purchase this book, unless you know nothing about She Ra and do not have time to look up basic information then this would be worth it. I paid 16.00 for mine. If it would around 4.00 I would have kept it and found it to be worth it. But not 16.00.
