This is a fabulous treasure listing all of the games we played as baby boomers. They had just about every game I could think of, and they include comparative pricing. If a game was first published in 1953 and has later copies, say 1961, the information is included in this book. It is categorized in a bit of a confusing manner, but there's an index at the end which lists all of the games. The color photos of games are good; the book is heavily peppered with them. No wear noticeable to the pictorial binding. A great book for browsing or pricing your games relative to other games. ; 4to - over 9 ... View more info
