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. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,726,610 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #261 in Antique & Collectible Toys (Books) #1,609 in Antiques & Collectibles Encyclopedias #93,265 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ultimate Barbie Doll Book: Identification and Price Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91rGUfr3kfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ultimate, indeed, but seriously needs an update! *by S***A on April 10, 2019* This is the best Barbie book I have ever gotten so far.
