Negative Positive
Title: Nice, but not useful to the advanced collector.
Review: It was great to finally see a book written on Tarzan collectibles, but this one falls short. While many fine older collectibles are shown from the collections of Michael Conran and George McWhorter, it would appear that the author had very little in his own collection, and seemed to "pad" the book with pages of common collectibles. There are tons of vintage items that could have been shown that were sacrificied to show multiple pages of new trading cards, new paperbacks & new comic books. Still a nice book for a collection, though.Schiffer produced a book on Oz memorabilia a few years ago, which was written by three major Oz collectors. Because the collectors knew their stuff, it turned out to be a fantastic reference book - very hard to top. Schiffer should have followed this same formula and consulted more long-time collectors to write a book on Tarzan collectibles.
