American Girl books best in a collective book
This is a collection of the first six books of the Samantha series. Of course the stories are great on their own, but how cool to have all six books bound together. Why don't they publish these series like this more readily? Can't wait to buy all eight girls' stories in this format.

No "Looking Back" Sections!
A friend and I compared the Boxed Set of Samantha's 6 stories and this All in One Book and were surprised that this version is lacking the informative "Looking Back" sections that are at the end of each of the 6 stories. The Welcome to Samantha's World book that you can buy separately does include some of the photographs and captions from these "Looking Back" sections. But it was slightly disappointing to see them omitted in this newer editionof the American Girls series. It's a beautiful and convenient book, and the stories are wonderful, but if you really want the nonfiction history included originally, buy them separetely or in the boxed set. It is interesting to note that another girl's (Kit ?) new all-in-one edition did include a Looking Back Section for at least one of the stories...so check before you buy if that part is important to you.

Wonderful Book
This is a beautifully illustrated, great story book for young girls. Also good reading for adults as well. I wish this edition had included a Look Into The Past section at the end of the book, instead of the preview of Nellie's book. But the "Welcome To Samantha's World" book fills in the omitted information.
