Another excellent Warman's field guide. Barbie doll guides are usually excessively expensive and that's where this one comes into it's own. An excellent product for an excellent price. Have several of these Warmans field guides now and I've never been disappointed with them. The clear photos, accurate descriptions and notes are very useful. Great if you are not sure of a date on a vintage Barbie doll or would like an idea of what your 80s doll is worth now (all in US dollars). If you are looking for lots of info on vintage Barbies this may not be for you. While there is a section on them, the majority of the guide covers early 80s to late 1990s. No regrets at all about buying this and would recommend to anyone who is relatively new to the Barbie doll scene or just wants a quick reference guide when they are searching for a Barbie doll bargain!!!
Really impressed with this little book. Great value for money and it has heaps of info and loads of clear colour photos. I have a few Barbie doll guides (a bit of a hobby of mine) and most are expensive and overrated. I found this one really useful when I want a quick reference guide and it's not a huge heavy book to look through. I have a couple fo Warmans field guide books on different subjects and have found them all useful and informative.
