Customer Reviews

Great book to research models, but...
As usual, Felicia Browell did a wonderful job compiling what must be huge amounts of information on Breyer horses. The book presents each model in a very organized fashion. However, I was **very** disappointed with the photographic quality of most of the photos of the models, especially when I compare them to the earlier editions of this book. I'm not sure if maybe the publisher is at fault for this or not, but the copy of the book that I purchased contains photos that have a VERY prominent orange tint to them. This makes it hard to match the horses' colors in the photos to models in real life. The chestnuts and bays actually look ORANGE in many of the photos (they practically GLOW on the page). I hope that a future printing of the book corrects this issue.

A wise choice for acetate equine aficionados...
Are you a model horse nut? An acetate equine aficionado? Or just discovered a box o' Breyers in the attic and don't know what you have? Whether you're a model horse pro or just getting started, here's a wise choice for your library.

Encyclopedic, it's not -- easy and fun to use, it is. Combining the usability of a quick-reference guide with the thoroughness of a catalog, Felicia Browell has created a great tool for collectors of these beautiful model horses and animals. It's a convenient size with intuitive layout, allowing you to locate a model quickly. Color photos eliminate confusion over marking and coloring variations. Price guidelines are sound. Browell also provides helpful cross-reference lists based on model number, name, even year. With book in hand, bid with confidence on those Internet auction pages!

If you want a practical Breyer reference that's complete but doesn't require a trailer hitch, put your money on this one.

Informative, but the binding is rather poor.
I found the content of the book to be great, but I (and friends who have purchased the book) find that the binding cracks and pages fall out rather easily.
