This book contains photos of every Breyer made, up to current printing date, including horses, cattle, dolls, dogs, etc. It's a great guide if you want to research models as it lists the model number, the year it was made, what mold it is derived from, and the color/marks the model features. This guide also contains collector's values. In an ideal world these values would be great but in the real world you have to find the right buyer to give you those prices. As the title says, it is a guide so use it as that, a guide. Don't expect to get those prices for every model you sell and don't pay those prices for the models you purchase (unless you can afford to and really want it!!). Overall it's a great guide that I purchased for guidance in buying and selling, I think others will be pleased with it too!Read full review
This book has hundreds of Breyer horses listed with full color pictures of each one. It also lists the year(s) that the models were made, a short explanation of the different colors, the price, and any other information that seems important to a collector. The beginning of the book has many helpful hints on collecting & how to rate the values. I was able to find all but one of my Breyer horses, which is a very old model. It didn't list it in the color that I have, but did show it in other colors. It also shows animals other than horses which were made by Breyer. A nice book for any horse collector.
I love this guide, it is very helpful for identifying Breyer horses from 2007 and older. If I am collecting a certain mold, I can see all the models that have been made from that mold and they year it was made. It covers all Breyer models, traditional, classic, stablemates, and other animals. The only con for this guide is it only goes to 2007.

This is the third edition I've bought over the years. I think it's great that someone has taken the responsibility to track down all of the models and values. There are a few models that still need more research, and a few that are missing, but these are the rare cases. All in all, a excellent guide to anyone wanting a value to place on their Breyers, or to know what they should expect to pay when shopping.
Unlike the fourth edition, the fifth edition has beautiful photos with accurate colors (no more neon orange!). It is arranged in the same manner as the previous 4 books. People unfamilure with Bryer models may have a hard tiime identifying a model, but for those of us who are aquainted with the hobby, it is a breeze. I did notice one mistake/omission in the Collectabull section. Photos of the Tractor Supply Company Special Runs Ugly and Silngblade are missing. All in all, it is a nice improvement over the fourth edition, a must-have for the serious collector.
