Product Description:
TV Guide: The Official Collectors Guide is the ultimate price guide for collectors, as well as a history of TV as seen through the pages of TV Guide® magazine. The book contains almost 38,000 covers – all in color, as well as the values of every issue starting from the 1950s. It profiles the history of TV programs by decades and tells collectors where and how to find back issues. The book is 8 ½ x 11 inches, perfect bound, and has 315 full-color pages. This is the first time every TV Guide digest-size cover has been printed in one publication. Dr. Stephen H. Hofer, a professor of communications at Chicago State University and curator of the Philo T. Farnsworth Television History Center in Auburn, Indiana, is the Editor.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A very highly recommended tour of American television programming
Enhanced with more than 3,700 full color covers from America's most popular, iconic, and widespread weekly magazine, "TV Guide: The Official Collectors Guide" compiled by Stephen F. Hofer (Curator of the Philo T. Farnsworth Television History Center, Auburn, Indiana, and who himself is the owner of one of the largest collections of TV Guide magazines and memorabilia in the United States) covers all the national and regional digest size covers from April 10, 1953 to October 9, 2005. Included are TV ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book, but flawed
This book has several major flaws. For a start, there is no index. The only way to locate covers with your favorite stars or shows is to browse the pages year-by-year.

The price guide only gives values for "mint condition" issues, with no guidelines for how to adjust value for copies in less than mint condition. (Most collectors' guides give a range of prices based on condition.)

It would have been nice if they had included some lists, such as: the most valuable issues; issues ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous
I was so happy to receive the TV Guide Official Collector's Guide, it is a great publication!! It has a lot more information than I expected - comments by stars over the years and much more!! It is very colorful and I will enjoy reading it for years to come. My 45 year old son has a collection of TV Guides and I know he will be interested in seeing the publication to see if the ones he has are valuable! Thank you



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A TV GUIDE FAN'S DREAM BOOK!
The episode of Seinfeld where Frank Costanza was noted to be a collector of TV Guide pretty much cemented that publication's place in the lore of pop culture. Now, from Bangzoom publishers comes "TV Guide" the official Collector's Guide. A lot of collector's books claim to be the only book you'd ever need to own but this one truly fits the bill. With over 3700 pictures, and every national and regional TV Guide cover pictured from 4/10/1953 through 10/19/2005 this is truly the ultimate resource for not ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Television Timeline
A mind-bending, if not surreal, parade of TV trivia presented week by week, year by year, era by era. Every single TV Guide cover is shown in true color, from April '53 to the first mag-size issue from autumn of last year. They're arranged as text would be on each page, left-to-right, top-to-bottom and IN ORDER on each page, dated and readily viewable. They even include full displays of all fold-out covers, as well as every version of each multiple cover, such as the one which had to be updated at Michael ... Read More
