Warman's Gi Joe Field Guide by KP Books and Karen O'Brien (2005, Paperback)

Warman's G.I. Joe Field Guide by Karen O'Brien is a great pocket guide to take with you to garage sales, flea markets, toy conventions, anywhere you might be searching for that elusive rare Joe you're wanting to add to your collection. This little guide contains color pictures of just about every G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe set made from the Sixties up through the Nineties, many with corresponding price valuations for Mint-in-Package specimens. It even contains pictures of clothing sets, vehicles and box covers. I'm a newbie Joe collector and this guide is an invaluable resource as I go about identifying items from the lots I've bought here on eBay. Since most of the lots are mixed and missing pieces here and there, I'm hoping to reconstruct some complete sets using this guide. If you're looking for an in-depth history of the creation and evolution of G.I. Joe through the years, you'll need to purchase one of the larger guides, like Vincent Santelmo's "The Complete Encyclopedia to GI Joe." But if you're looking for a concise, pocket-size book with a lot of pictures for reference, then this is a great guide to start out with!

This is absolutely the quintessential "Field Guide" to G.I.Joe! It is full from cover to cover of great color pictures of complete, entire sets, cards, boxed sets, etc. The prices she lists are kind of "all over the place", But as any collector knows, "price guides" for vintage toys are usually pretty much for the birds anyway! As a FIELD reference guide (while you are out shopping at toy shows, and you need to know what came with a particular set?, or what color was that pair of boots?, etc.), this little pocket-sized book gives you all the information you need at your fingertips!! OUTSTANDING!

this is a great book.the one you'll take with you on your hunts for gi joe's.it has all the info you'll need in the field to make smart buys.

Very interresting book, All the range GI Joe. Just one problem the book an the pictures are too small.
But you find a lot informations and I think it's a reference for me

A great guide for novice Gi-Joe collectors or for a guy who simply wants to get back the same Joe's he had as a kid. There are some better guides out there, but not any that you can take around with you like this one.
