Publications of Interest to Snow Baby Collectors

Snow Babies, Santas and Elves
Collecting Christmas Bisque Figures

An excellent study of snow babies of antiquity authored by Mary Morrison. This book contains over 700 pictures by James Morrison and detailed information on antique snow baby rarity, markings and price ranges. Topics covered include blue snows, pink snows, all-whites, no snows, dolls, container pieces, German and Japanese pre- and post-WWI snow babies, modern day productions such as Department 56 Snowbabies, and bisque figures associated with snow baby collecting, including snow children, snow animals, santas and elves. This 157 page book is truly an essential for the serious collector.

Probably still available in book stores near you :)

^Department 56, Inc. QUARTERLY

The premiere publication for Department 56 collectors. From the makers of Snowbabies and Snowbunnies, (and as the name suggests) there are four issues of this magazine annually: the Preview Edition each January, April's Historical Edition, the Update Edition in July and October's Holiday Decorating Edition. With always an abundance of information and stunning photography to thrill collectors of all Department 56 collectibles, the magazine itself has become quite collectible. Regular features include collectors and dealer news, answers to collector questions by Ms. Lit Town, and "Did You Know?" focussed on little known information about Department 56 items.

$12.00 Annually. Online subscription available. Go There Now! :)

The Cottage Locator Newsletter
An Independent Newsletter & Secondary Brokerage

A concise newsprint style publication of Frank and Florence Wilson.

A friendly and knowledgable collector/dealer, Frank is often seen as guest speaker and/or table vender at swap & sells, gatherings and club events.

Snow Babies

This is an identification guide of antique snow babies by Ray and Eilene Early. With the exception of the color cover pictures, this 42 page booklet contains black and white plate photography of approximately 140 snow babies and snow baby related materials. Out of print since 1983, and available here autographed by Ray Early, this booklet is a "must have" for serious collectors of antique snow babies and snow babies memorabilia. IMHO the booklet itself is "collectible".

Special Note: If you are a D56 Snowbabies collector only having no interest at all in "oldbabies", you will not likely find this booklet appealing.

Hard to find - email me to see if I've got any on hand.

GREENBOOK
Guide to Department 56 Snowbabies

Ever get an offer to buy at "book"? More likely than not, the "book" was Greenbook, a guide to D56 Snowbabies. Widely respected for breadth of collectibles information and values, beginning in 1997 the Greenbook folks bifurcated their D56 village and Snowbabies coverage into separate publications. Updated annually, the Greenbook contains a marvelous history section, in question and answer format, by well known Department 56 authority, Peter George. Features like that make even older editions nice to own. You can learn more about Greenbook and place orders for current editions at Peter's web site.

COLLECTOR'S VALUE GUIDE
Department 56, Inc. Snowbabies Snowbunnies

Here's another excellent secondary market guide and handbook for Snowbabies and Snowbunnies collectors. There is a wealth of information presented in this handbook for both the novice and seasoned collectors under various section headings that provide utility and ease for reference. Over 350 full color photographs nicely organized make identifcation a snap, and the insurance guide and gift ideas sections are pretty neat too. This handbook and value guide is now (1997) in its Second Edition publication, and its certainly a worthwhile choice for D56 collectors. And the publisher has a web site to learn more and order.
