his is a wonderful pictorial tribute to the beautiful Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments that make our Christmases brighter! It lists the hundreds of ornaments produced from 1973 to 1993, provides wonderful color photos for each, lists the artist who designed them, and their original list price. It gave me a reference of all of the 'Baby's First Christmas' ornaments from the year that my son was born, so that I could fill in the gaps in my ornament collection. It also depicts special premiere and 'Collector's Club' ornaments that the public doesn't always see. I especially enjoyed the section that displayed an ornament from the 'idea phase' to the 'completed stage'. This Guide is a treasured resource to assist all collectors and a definite 'must have.'
