Checker Reviews

Checkerbee has updated its Hallmark Value Guide and it is better than ever. It shows every ornament that Hallmark has produced from 1973 up to and included the soon to be released 2001 year. It also shows Merry Minuatures and Kiddie Cars. All with pictures and all with a secondary market price, (to be used as a guide only!)

One of the best things that I like about this guide is that all series ornaments are pictured together. You can easily see which ones in the series that you have!

There are spaces to record your own collection, interviews with several artists and helpful articles that deal with collecting. An alphabetical index in the back is very helpful too!

This book provides both detailed pcitures of each ornament with pricing arranged by year of issue. Very easy to use and wonderfully done! Definitely recommend.

Want to know what your Harmony Kingdom pieces are worth? This book is a must for any collector, or anyone contemplating collecting . Just looking at the beautiful, large pictures will pique your interest! The book is really a handbook, with space on each page to write down what you paid, when, and the value of the item. Each is assigned a value, so you have a guideline when you purchase a piece. They are all in there! There is even a section on the secondary market, and pages in the back to record future releases. All this, an introduction to the artists at Harmony Kingdom,and more. If you aren't a collector yet, you will be after reading this book! This book is a real bargain.

Imagine taking the family on a 1320 mile vacation trip along the world famous Lake Superior Circle Tour from the comfort of your living room! This virtual vacation can be accomplished via a unique Lake Superior satellite image checkerboard, 24 checker pieces using Canadian and USA nickles, and 56 challenging multiple choice questions.

GET the question RIGHT and you get to jump! GET the question WRONG and you lose your turn! After you have played 4-8 games, you will have probably memorized the answers to all the questions; now pure checker mathematical skills, strategy, and question recall become the focus.

What makes this educational experience unique from other simulation games you have played is the posting on the World Wide Web (NET) of additional Lake Superior questions which of course allows the game and your learning curve to continuously grow! The additional questions and future updates are absolutely FREE and are included in your original purchase.

Karlsburg, a noted cottage owner from the Batchawana Bay region of Lake Superior says, "You might even decide to take a "real vacation" to experience the "Mystique of Lake Superior" after playing Kathryn Grube's Lake Superior Checkers!

I just got this book and couldn't put it down!! It has a ton of great pictures, lots of interesing NSync facts and, my personal favourite, separate chapters for each of the guys. I flipped to the Chris section first just b/c he's my fav!

This is an excellent book with an in depth run-down on many game variations. In fact this book is so good that it was the primary reason that I finished as high as third place in the National Pool Checkers tournament in Atlanta,Ga in 1998. After winning the junior masters division in 1987 I was not involved with tournament play for eleven years and my game was rusty. This book's in depth treatment of the many games contained therein prepared me for a successful re-entry to the world of tournament checkers. In fact I only studied two of the games as I did my preparation and they were the "City Game" and the "Alley Game". So if the study of two of the many games contained in this book could prepare me this much, one might well imagine the outcome if I had studied all the games. Therefore, I highly recommend this book to all serious students who would like to take their game to another level!

This book enlightened me to many new methods to get a victory with fewer pieces, indeed the book is quite unique. At is bound to increase the tactical vision to entirely new levels.

This is a great way to find books by the number 1 author today that you want to read and to keep track of his books that you have already read.

I think this is a planner for people to enjoy,espeically collectors.Cause they can plan their events for the day and still have Beanie Babies by their side,in the car or where-ever they are but its a great Day Planner.

Well if you are and you love wrestling toys this book is a must have it. It has all the WWF, WCW and ECW action figures in side. For Hasbro to Jakk this book has it all
