Tomarts DISNEYANA Guide to Pin Trading

This book is a very useful reference source for pin traders.

The edition I saw did not have an index by character (essential in my view).

For an experienced pin trader then this book is a veritable necessity .

You do have to know where a pin was released to find it in the book and that could be time consuming.

The field of Disney pins is however huge and I think that this is a very sound book bearing that in mind

Many pins are not included however and this could be a problem for anyone trading pins.

You really need the previous guide also.

It might have been easier to use if it was indexed by pin number rather than place of issue.

It is still a major achievement and is certainly the best available resource around.

Many earlier pins were not included and you really need the earlier editions to have a complete view of pins as well as this edition.

Other reviews note that this book takes off where the official Disney website stops.

My Conclusion

Product Description from Amazon :

The 6th Edition of Tomarts DISNEYANA Guide to Pin Trading is the first new edition in over two years, and contains many additions and changes. But dont get rid of your Fifth or earlier editions. Many pins will not be repeated. Foreign pins and Disney Auction/Shopping pins have been eliminated to concentrate on US Disney theme parks, Disney Cruise Line, New York World of Disney and other operations. New issue pins for eliminated catagories will still be
covered in Tomarts DISNEYANA Update magazine, but will not appear in our traditional guide.
Values have also been revised to reflect the current market.

My Verdict 4 Stars **** A good buy for your bookshelf
