Reader Reviews
"World of My Little Pony" is an unofficial guide to the original My Little Pony collectibles from the 1980's. The book does list most ponies distributed in the U.S., with pictures of each pony group, and gives estimated prices for them. The book is poorly organized. Instead of organizing sets by year, they are split into "Adult" and "Baby" categories, and then the sets are alphabetized within those chapters. The problem is that Birge sometimes creates names for sets or ponies, so they do not appear where one would expect within the book. Much of the information is incomplete or simply wrong, especially regarding accessories. The text is often awkward, indicating poor editing. The price guide is also inaccurate, and applies prices to all ponies within a group, even though individual ponies may sell for much higher prices than other ponies from the same set. While the pictures are clear, they are not pleasing to the eye. Many of the ponies appear to be unkempt. Sometimes they are not posed where their symbols, or identifying markers, can be seen in the photos. There was also some bizarre use of MLP accessories as props in the photos, such as using upturned cribs as stands. Finally, the book only covers U.S.-releases. Birge's second book, often confused with this one in customer reviews, covers ponies from other parts of the world. The book is a nice attempt, and I use it occasionally when I can't remember a pony's name. If someone needs a good introduction to MLP, however, there are many websites that offer more complete, and more accurate, information at no cost. This book simply isn't worth the price.
