The relative completeness of the guide is a plus. But it's frustrating to have any artists excluded. The format is a minus - at least until I get used to it. It's good to group LP's under one artist by Label - but maddening to separate albums of the same title for any reason. Why not just do it alphabetically or by release date? Also- plan on reading glasses for this type size. Could be bolder at least Tim! Sure is a lot of research and a lot of pages for the price! Hope it's close on true values!
This is an ongoing book for me, and I wanted the updated version (I had the last one dated 2003) to see the current prices of my LPs. I am both a collector and a record dealer, so it helps to know what a record is worth, even if it is only a guide. For the most part, the LPs have remained stable in value, but this edition also picks up LPs issued 2003-2007 as well. I appreciated the format change from three columns (according to record condition) to only one column. The three columns were not needed, as the first two columns were just set percentages of the last one anyway. The extra space allowed more LPs to be listed.
