We get a lot of questions about this book so we wanted to set up a little guide to help people with the most Frequently Asked Questions about it. If you have a questions that we didn't cover here, please contact us through eBay and we would be happy to answer it.

1. Does it have color pictures?

Yes! It has a large, individual picture of every pony, accessory, and playset. Summer also included photos of every sticker, Dream Beauties, Petite Ponies, Plush, Pony Wear, L'il Litters, Mail Orders, My Pretty Pony and other Special offer ponies and more. The pictures are large enough to see details such as symbols and other markings to help collectors figure out what is what. Here is a sample page to give you an idea (for some reason, eBay will only let us post a very small image, we apologize for this. If you wish to view a larger version of this image, there is one in our listings for this book.)

2. Who is Summer Hayes?

Summer is a My Little Pony collector with a huge collection who is very active in the MLP community, has hosted several pony meets and also attended the MLP Fair and Convention for several years. She is also the author of The My Little Pony G3 Collector's Inventory, a guide to the MLP toys currently in stores (which is already available now in bookstores like Amazon and others) as well as an upcoming price guide to the second generation of MLP (commonly called G2) which should be available in late 2008.

3. Where can I get a copy of this book?

Why, on eBay, of course! :-) We have a few copies in our eBay store so you are welcome to purchase directly from us or one of the other sellers selling this title. The book is also available in all major bookstores, however, including Amazon. If you would prefer to purchase from your local bookshop, just call in advance and give them the ISBN number above so that they can order it if they don't yet have it in stock.

4. Will this guide tell me which accessories go with which pony or playset?

Yes. Each pony has has a checklist by his or her name with all of their accessories including brushes, ribbons, stickers, etc enabling collectors and eBay sellers alike to be able to match each pony up with what they originally came with. There are also photos of all accessories to help you match them up as well as notes on variations and other unusual pony trivia.

5. How is the price guide set-up?

Rather than making you flip back and forth to check the value of each pony, prices are listed on the same page as each pony. Prices are given in ranges of $5 incriments to account for fluctuations in the MLP market.

As we mentioned above, please feel free to contact us with any other questions. If any quesitons come up multiple times, we will add them to this guide. Thank you for your time and happy ponying!
