Although, when I purchased this book, I was looking for something the book does not totally provide. However as a pricing guide, it provides enormous reference information. If you know what you have, or have a Barbie or friend in box up into 2000, you should be able to locate pricing references. If like me you were looking to identify individual dolls, you will be disappointed.
I bought this book for my wife because of the liability on the writers and the quality of the images. It served that purposes perfectly well ! I must compliment the safety and speed of tha transaction also !
