Four excellent new collector's guides are top picks for Ebay salespeople, garage sale enthusiasts, or specialty collectors. Stuart W. Wells III's Warman's Star Wars Field Guide: Identification And Values (08968-91348, $12.99) provides a thick yet truly pocket-sized tote perfect for bringing along to that auction or flea market, pairing over two hundred color photos with thousands of Star Wars memorabilia listings. From cards and action figures to coins, models and paper collectibles, Warman's Star Wars Field Guide is the perfect take-along companion--as is Leigh Leshner's Warman's Jewelry Field Guide: Values And Identification (98734-99824, $12.99), which provides hundreds of listing, 400 color photos and illustrations, and a handy alphabetical arrangement by jewelry genre for quick consultation. Both are excellent guides for hitting the road. And speaking of jewelry, Leigh Leshner's Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry: Identification And Price Guide (0873499-549, $24.99) may not be small-sized, but packs in the reference details on art plastic jewelry, covering celluloid, Bakelite and more and including nearly 400 color photos throughout. Since the works of modern designers are typically lost in the focus on antiques alone, Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry is especially important, filling a gap in details on collectible modern pieces. Alex G. Malloy's Comics Values Annual 2005 (0873499638, $19.99) packs in updated values listings for nearly 100,000 comics from the Golden Age to modern times. It's the tab references, index, and very latest collectible prices which makes Comics Values Annual 2005 so important to any serious collector.
