I love this book. This is the neatest book in the world. It has almost every Barbie I have in there. My favorite Barbie was the Olympic P.J. I use it to help me surf on Ebay. If you like Barbies, get this book now!

This book is really nice, the pictures are gorgeous, and it has some index on Barbie dolls by year, also Barbie’s friends. Not so much on collectible dolls, but there are some dolls with gorgeous pics, some are different from the publish pics and a few are the same. Nice information for dolls and furniture. Great book! The cover is stunning!!!!

This beautiful book is a must-have for any girl who loves Barbies. It is a children’s book and is a visual delight…not a dry guide for adult collectors. The pictures are crisp and labeled, as the other DK books are; “corduroy hat” and “red patent leather pumps,” etc. A huge hit with my 9-year old niece.

My kids like it. It’s got excellent layout, clear crisp pics, but isn’t comprehensive. Great to look through, and point to – look, I had that one when I was a kid….. (YOU were a KID?) I don’t use it with my collection, but I am glad I bought it – it makes a pleasent just for fun.

My daughter loves this book, and we are on our 3rd copy because she has worn it out taking it on trips, in the car, etc. Her favorite part is the international dolls section, where she enjoys looking at national costumes from around the world. The layout and photos are very well-done, and it brings me back to my childhood as well!
