Title: Overpriced and Boring
Review: I collect books on Halloween - photography, encyclopedias, histories, etc., and so when I saw this halloween encyclopedia I was anxious to purchase it. The price was a bit staggering, especially considering how slender the book is (a mere 255 pages - including the index), but I thought there might be new insight, interesting articles, and color photographs. No, to all of those. The book is a paperback printed on rather cheap paper and the articles are boring. All illustrations are in black and white. I am extremely disappointed, both in the book and in myself. I should have paid more attention to the specifics - paperback, number of pages, but what I fail to understand is the extremely inflated price. This book should be no more than $19.95, and it's being sold for a whopping $72! Not worth it by any means. Unless you can find it at a reasonable price, save your money!
