Very Good October 28, 2008
This book is definitely useful when collecting Wade miniatures. There are many clear pictures with lots of information. The only thing is that they do not clearly specify the difference from the boxed whimsies and the ones that came in the Rose Tea. They could be a bit clearer on that issue. Other than that, I think this book is a must have if you are interested in Wade.

An Unauthorized Guide to Whimsies, Premiums, Village, and Characters - Wade Miniatures October 4, 2008
The book has everything I was looking for information about Wades miniatures. The pictures are great and it also has an index so you can find items quickly. I highly recommend this book to collectors.

Very Informative Book on Wade Miniatures September 22, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The book 'Wade Miniatures' (2007) by Diane Baker is a wonderful first book to have if you are starting to collect Wade Miniature Figurines. The color photos are so true to life. Ms Baker includes some history of Wade of England and a current price guide for the figurines.
Most of the figurines included in the book start in the 1950's and continue up to the present. The Wade factory in England however, started out making porcelain pieces in 1810.
Everyone remembers the Red Rose Tea Miniatures that were included in the Red Rose Tea boxes. Those little Miniatures currently range in value from $5.00 to about $20.00 - $30.00. More exquisite pieces can range in value from $50.00 to over $400.00. There is a price range for every level of collector.
I had an older copy of her book from the Library. However, when the 2007 edition came out, I just had to have it as a handy reference guide.
As a novice collector, or for that matter, as an amateur collector, you will find this book to be an invaluable reference guide!
Happy collecting!!

Just what I needed! I have a collection inherited from my mom. I wasn't sure of the value or which pieces belong to which set. This book is very clear. Has great pictures and pricing information. Highly recommended.
