Often referred to as the Hummel Bible, Luckey's is a well established and well put together guide for everything Hummel. By the way, I do mean EVERYTHING Hummel including of course the figurines but also plates, dolls, music boxes, plaques, needlework and many more categories.
New comers to this hugely popular line will benefit by the detailed collector's guide section which provides lengthily details on how to buy, how to sell, spotting fakes and inspection tips. Most importantly, this section goes into great details to discuss the numerous trademarks used by Hummel. These marks are essential to dating pieces and each mark is illustrated for easy reference. Before the meat of the book begins your also introduced to a glossary of terminology and a nice section of caring for, displaying and protecting your collection.
O.K. so the intros take up about 60 pages, get ready for an over 500 page Hummel extravaganza. The layout of this book really can't be improved upon. Each item shows the reference number, history of the piece, price variation notes within the item (for mold/color variations, etc.) and short price ranges for the item broken down, when applicable, by trademark. Last but definitely not least, each item has a decent sized photograph for reference.
Bottom line - guess I gave this one away in the introduction but suffice to say that every serious Hummel collector already has this book on their shelves. If your going to start collecting Hummel you have to buy this guide, there is no other.

Use white water based glue or epoxy resin. You need to clean the piece first with water and dry
