## Description

Since debuting at the New York City Toy Fair in 1959, the Barbie doll has become the most popular doll in the history of children's toys - and the most collectible! Since its debut, The Ultimate Barbie Doll Book has provided complete, reliable information for collectors, dealers and fans on the fashion doll that both children and adults adore. Available for the first time in an affordable softcover edition, this one of a kind book clearly and chronologically identifies U.S.-issued Barbie dolls, including friends and family, in nearly 2,000 clear color photographs accompanied by complete detailed descriptions. Containing information for five decades worth of dolls, The Ultimate Barbie Doll Book provides the definitive answer to any collecting question. Simple facts, striking photos, and outstanding organization mark this comprehensive guide as a must-have. Features up-close head and full-view shots for easy identification. Also contains an index with extensive cross references and model numbers and box dates.

Review: Ultimate, indeed, but seriously needs an update! - This is the best Barbie book I have ever gotten so far. I have gotten other Barbie books in the past, but they didn't include that much pictures or didn't provide a full description of the dolls like this one. I would highly recommend this book instead of The Barbie Doll Years book. I love how detailed this book is...like it details the outfits the dolls are wearing and what accessories they came with right down to the T! It even further breaks down the head molds, head markings, and doll stands. The only drawback is that book only goes up to 1995, and I have some dolls that came after 1995. Darn! I am really hoping that the author will consider updating this book sometime in the future to include dolls that were released after 1995. The only book I know so far where it includes all the Barbie doll lines, collectors' editions, exclusives, etc after 1995 is the "Barbie Doll Photo Album" book by J Michael Augustyniak.
Review: Quality, Communication, Value - Pristine condition. Seller extremely responsive. Superb, meticulous packaging: bubble wrap, cardboard, book could not be damaged in shipping. Gift for my daughter, an avid doll collector. She was thrilled with the book and in awe of the condition. It looks brand new. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from seller again.
