SIX MONTHS IN THE MAKING!
The Official Collectors Guide to Harbour Lights

Foreword by Bill Younger
Edited by John Chidester

"Look, up in the future, it's not a price guide, it's not "Green" and it's not the wimpy Collectors Publishing book from 1998...
...it's an all new comprehensive guide to the lights we love so well!"


Look for an announcement and an online flyer before mid-August, maybe as early as next week.

A few early reviews...

"..not only the best guide ever to Harbour Lights, it's the best guide to any collectible line.."

"..so comprehensive it should have it's own 'HL' number!"

"..are you guys done with this book yet? We've got to get it to the printer NOW!! We're going to miss the Christmas season if you squeeze ONE more thing in there!"
